I (18m) have a friend from work who is pretty much my best friend (19f) who not long ago told me she has been self harming. She doesn’t want anyone knowing. She has good days where she doesn’t do it at all and bad days where the opposite happens.

She told me her reasons for not getting professional help and to me some of them make sense but it’s getting to the point where I’m genuinely worried about how far she’ll take it.

There’s only so much I can say to her without having to intervene. The best I can do is try and reassure her that I and others care about her and that if she needs literally anything she’s to call me.

I think it might be starting to impact on me too. She told me why she recently did over text and why she feels like she has to and I just burst into tears.

Any help would be hugely appreciated
