I have it for the Playstation , but it ' s painful to play on a controller . <| sep |> Of course you can ask , I ' d be happy to answer whatever questions you have about this . I also just read your post btw . I stopped because a really close friend of mine who I ' m in love with has begged me to stop . I just couldn ' t break his heart so I had to , and he also convinced me to get help . Depression is one of the reasons that people harm themselves , or your boyfriend might have an eating disorder , like me . It usually comes with a strong feeling of shame and disgust of your own body . But there could also be other countless reasons . The best thing to do in this situation is to communicate with him in a way that you can reassure him and make him feel safe . Be sure to bring it up in a polite manner , try to avoid making him feel guilty about it . Sorry if this is a bit obvious but I still need to say it . After you ask him about it , get him to talk to you about why he ' s harming himself , and then make sure that he gets help . Self harm can really fuck someone up both physically and mentally . And the underlying issues can be even more destructive so it is very important for the person to get help . Your boyfriend is very , very lucky . Since he obviously has a caring bf and he won ' t feel alone as long as you ' re there . You just need to ask him about it , and hopefully those turn out not to be self harm scars .
