My boyfriend used to self harm...

I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to feel like I'm helping when he gets depressed? He said he hasn't cut in about eight months and I believe him, but sometimes he gets close and it's a struggle. I just wanna know some ways I can be there.

I would try to talk him through it, and always remind him that you love him. If he ever seems extremely depressed or starts cutting again, I would try to get professional help or advice, even if it is anonymous. Good luck!

well, he also said that sometimes when it gets really bad, even saying nice things to him sound like sarcasm. I mean, I've had my own little runs of depression but I don't know how to help someone else through anything. you know?

[musicalmaddness]

Yeah, I understand what you mean. One of my own friends went through something like this. I would just try your best. If it gets too much, you may have to do something different.

Alright, thank you so much!
