If your friend is SI what do u do? do u think its wrong?!


Question:

If your friend is SI what do u do? do u think its wrong?

Si - means self injury


Answers:

It is a coping mechanism. It doesn't matter if it is right or wrong there are fundamental issues your friend needs to address to stop the SI. If you are able to talk to your friend you could suggest that rather than self harming they hold ice in their hand and grip it very tightly. Ice hurts like hell in your hand which can release some of the emotion that obviously needs to come out but it isn't as physically damaging as cutting or hurting yourself other ways.

Your friend needs to see a counsellor to start on the long process to healing and working through underlying issues and problems. In the mean time they need someone there for them just to talk to in the times of crisis which is easier said than done as often we hide away until everything becomes more managable again.

Good luck to both you and your friend
