I have a friend who is self harming, he is a wonderful person and I really want to help him but I don’t know how. I tried a lot of different things and they seemed to work but than I had to go back to germany and he is in canada. So now it is pretty hard to help him over this long distance.
Does anyone has an idea how I could help him over such along distance???
Been there. I have lots of friends who are long distance who I try to help. There really isnt that much you can do since it is long distance, but you still can. Just try and stay in contact with him often so he knows you still care. Don’t ever just stop talking to him, if its possible. Just keep checking up on him. Ask him how he is doing. Let him know you are still there for him even if its just email or facebook. lol. But just let him know all the time that you care and are always there to listen. Just be a listening ear for him even if it is over the computer. Just keep encouraging him and offer him virtual hugs. 😛 example.. *hugssss* haha. Those always help even if it seems stupid. But yeah just do those things and he should be ok. =]
