Need advice about my girlfriend’s mental health
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. My girlfriend is only 20. She’s genuinely smart, was always a really good student, and had such a bright future ahead of her. But lately it feels like she’s slowly ruining her own life and I can’t stop it.
She struggles badly with emotions, self harm and substance abuse. One small thing can completely destroy her mentally. She acts okay around everyone, then crashes when she’s alone.
What hurts the most is watching someone with so much potential slowly mess up their academics and career because they don’t know how to deal with what’s going on inside their head.I try to support her as much as I can but honestly I’m scared for her. I don’t even know how to help anymore without sounding controlling or making things worse.
Has anyone here dealt with someone like this before?
