Triggering (SI/ED) - I don't know how to help
SO yesterday I got a completely out of the blue message on my youtube account that said ----- HI , Can you help me-----
So I replied------ Whats up?------
and at lunch time today I check my e-mails and this it in there------
hi i dont no what to do av got anorexia but av started self harm and i need to stop i dont no what to do i collapsed yestoday am scerd am 13 ------
I REALLY don't know what to do . I am struggling right now myself but this person really sounds like they need some help .
I don't know how they found me on youtube but I do subscribe to some S.I. help/information/experiance channels so they may have just tagged along to one of my comments I left .
Do you guys think that I maybe send them a link for RYL?
I really would aprreciate any advice.
I hope I've come over ok I'm struggling with words today.

Yeah sending them a link to RYL sounds like a good idea, also perhaps advise them to make contact with their doctor or even someone at their school like a counsellor. You have to put your own well being first, it is okay to say them that you are struggling yourself and that at the moment you are not in the position to help them but yeah advise who they can go to. Take care

I would recommend being supportive, but trying to stay 'detached' from the situation, as you really have no idea who this person is. I think the RYL link might be a good idea, but say that you really can't help any further or something like that. I think that would be fine to do as you have given them a different avenue for support.

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

ditto to what the others said. You need to put your own wellbeing first, but at the same time seem supportive. Let them know you're unable to support them personally right now, but send them the link to RYL and suggest about gp/councellors/samaritans etc. *huge huggles*

Yeah, what they said *nods*

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
