I need advice for a friendI have a friend who has major mental health issues that have caused her to self-harm, and I don't know how to help. As I know, these are typical problems at school, like bullying, but as she says, everything is much worse, and because we are online friends, I can’t help in any way physically, so I ask for advice. If the problem is serious enough, the friend's health is poor, so it is possible that she could k@11 herself because of self-harm, so I ask for help.
Like I can't help most people here for what they go through, you probably can't as well. It's all about being in someone else's shoes. If you haven't walked a mile in their shoes, it usually does not work OP. I'm sorry I can't help.Maybe instead of helping, do simple things like ask her how her day is, tell her she is doing a great job at the game you play with her in, offer to play her game together, and try to listen and understand her.It's just the simple things anon that make a big deal.
you cant help these people, let them cook in their own filthif you cant stand watching that, cut them out of your life
>>34480738As someone else mentioned, you should cut her out of your life if you feel they’re having a negative impact on your daily life and your mood. I also knew someone with mental health issues and did everything I could to help her get out of the situation she’d gotten herself into, but the conversations were always the same. Depression was the only thing she could talk about, and there was nothing I could have done to save her. I stopped believing that our friendship was worth preserving, and in the end, we broke up. If you personally feel there’s nothing to save, you could try reaching out to her and telling her how you feel. There’s always the possibility of simply helping her and acting as her personal therapist when she’s at her lowest, but you also have to look out for your own well-being and personal growth. Help her as much as you can, but don’t let it drag you down.
