[TW] mentions of self harm and eating disorders
good news: i have a bf!!
bad news: he self harms and has an eating disorder
i'm def lost on how to navigate this since i'm not exactly equipped to help with eating disorders. i do really love him, but the thought of him relapsing or starving himself just saddens me. i guess he's trying to recover? but i don't know; he tries, relapses, and gives up.
how can i help him? i feel like it would be weird to encourage recovery while i'm still self harming, if that makes sense. i feel like it would be too selfish to ask for him to stop, and i don't want to put him through that guilt. i really do want him to get better because i love him and worry for him
