Talking to my cousin about self harm. - December 16th 2022, 08:02 PM
My cousin messaged me today asking for help. Her daughter is self harming. She wants me to talk to her daughter since I've been there before. I'm willing to talk to her, but I'm very nervous about it and am scared I won't say enough or won't say the right things. I am wondering what types of things you'd have liked to hear from a support person as a teen. I am going to be printing out the entire Alternatives list for her, but I am just worried about the talk. Any help is appreciated.

Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
