I want to give a warning and that is may be a sensitive topic for people who struggle with or know people who struggle with self harm (SH). 

Okay, continuing on. My boyfriend came over yesterday and asked if when I was really depressed if I had ever self harmed. I told him that I had and then I asked him if he was. He told me yes, I had asked him how and he told me. I am not going to get into what he is doing to SH, but from what he told me I am very worried for him. When I was going through my depression, I never wanted support and only wanted to be left alone to deal with it myself. I talked to him about this and he said he just wants support from me. I am not sure how to give this to him. For anyone struggling with SH, how would you like to be comforted and supported? I am open to all feed back and will keep everything in mind.
