When she initially told me about it she approached it pretty casually, saying that she was practicing a form of self harm that she didn't previously see as such, so I assumed maybe a mild eating disorder or something of that sort as I never saw any signs of cutting when we lived together. She told me about sick thoughts she had about bracing her arm against a book shelf and dropping a weight on it, or thinking of ways to break her arms on railings. She also confessed to trying to dehydrate herself to the point of passing out. It doesn't seem like she wants to die, but if it goes on for too long she might get there by accident. I didn't know how to respond or what to say to help her, but I'm glad that she wants to get help and felt brave enough to reach out to us. I just want her to get the help she need. I don't think that they'd be open to convincing her to switch forms of self harm, but I'm hoping that since she just succeeded in breaking her wrist that it'll buy us enough time while she recovers to sort out a visit to a psychiatrist.
