Recently my brother found out about my SI and said 'we'll work through this together'. I don't see how this works... I've asked him to help, but I don't know if he can if that makes sense... I know it hurts him to see the scars, and that makes me want to hurt myself again... It just seems like an endless cycle. I don't see how he can help if every time he looks at me he's making me feel worse... I know he wants what's best for me but I can't see how he can help when I'm like this.

Am I alone on this?

Being supportive emotionally is I think is what he means.....talking to him whenever your having urges to hurt he can't completely help you that half comes from you wanting/trying to better yourself but its nice to kno that you have some support and its your loving caring brother. TC
Thanks for this!
