How do I help my ex?

in General Chat
My ex wants to get back with me after our 4 month split and he has wanted to get back with me since two weeks after we split up. I didn't want to return to the relationship as it wasn't a helpful relationship and he could be quite controlling but I agreed to be his friend. We then stopped talking for about a month. He then contacted me hoping again that we could reconcile and I still don't want to return to the relationship and I have moved on. He then harmed himself following being turned down. This was when I realized he had been self harming for a while and was noticeably depressed, I want to help him as a friend, since I suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I know how it feels. He has said he doesn't need help but his state of mind is getting worse, is there anything anyone can suggest?
