Hi there,

I live in a big shared house where no-one is very close to anyone else. I just had a rare conversation with one of my housemates and it turns out she's in a pretty bad way. She is a middle-aged woman with BPD, is working minimum wage and has just been through a breakup.

She showed me scars from previous self-harm and says she will probably cut again tonight . She alluded to suicide as an option as well (not threatening to do it immediately).

We had a short chat about her situation but I really barely know her - this is most I have ever talked to her.

Does anyone have any advice for what I can do to help?
