How do i tell my friend i cut myself?
Hey you. Thanks for sharing your question first of all. To give you the best answer possible it would have been good if you could share some more details; like WHY do you feel the need to cut yourself and have you not shared this with anyone yet so now your friend will be the first one? I know you cut yourself to numb the other chaos inside of you, the stuff ( the emotions) you don't know how to handle yet. If your friend is someone you think can make you better and understand you, then share this. If not, then don't say anything to this particular friend. Please listen, I don't know if you are a girl or a guy (most likely a young girl) but the real issue here is not to tell a friend or not you want and need attention for cutting yourself. I don't know what has happened to you and I am so sorry that it lead to this but please don't think for a second that you can't stop the pain. You CAN. It takes a lot of guts to stop hurting yourself and try to realize you deserve to be happy to. If I knew more perhaps I could help you more. Would you share your pains? Annie.

How do I tell my best friend I just cut myself?
If you wish to talk about cutting yourself with your friends, you should take your time. Make sure that your friends are trustworthy and would understand you. A lot of times there were people that would spread around rumors from something like this without noticing it. Also, make sure that you don’t scare your friend too much, talk to them calmly and slowly. This will not only help you say what you need, but also let your friend figure out whats going on and to help you. Also, I’m not trying to make you not tell your friends things and be paranoid. I am merely warning you before the damage happens.I had a friend that would cut and starve herself, and I wanted to help her. Over the years, I would check her wrists and legs and ask her about her. Sometimes she would be annoyed, or be a little aggressive, and that’s okay. But most usually, she wouldn’t mind too much about it, and actually treated it like a casual thing. After a few year, she stopped cutting herself and she began eating again. Slowly and slowly, I began to tell that she was getting better. She had a stronger and healthier body, and she no longer had cuts all over her body.
How do I help my friend who cuts herself? I’m the only person who knows.
I wish i knew. Even ex self-harmers like me don't really know. Just be a friend. Tell her if she goes, you’ll miss her. I saved 1 online friend by telling her that. She wasn't a cutter though. She was just going through a rough time in her life.Tell her you are really worried about her. Tell her it hurts you when she cuts. She should get the message it's not cool and it hurts you when she cuts.Tell her to draw butterflies on where she would cut and give them names of her friends. So when she doesYou could tell her to disinfect her wounds with betadine. It stings. But it will help her remember not to cut and it will prevent infection. My mom loved betadine. She was a vet (animal doctor).How far away from you is she? Ask her to please see a psychologist or doctor and her parents.Out of curiosity ask what time does she cut? Is it always at 3 am? Google search “Chinese Meridians and wake up times.” She may have pent up anger issues.Is there a specific reason she cuts? Ask a psychologist.Sometimes you can help. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you can only postpone the inevitable and that just prolongs their emotional pain.I saved another friend just by listening to her on the phone. i had known for 7 years in real life and saved her life twice that way. But it was in vain. My friend was going through bipolar disorder depression downward spiral. She never called a 3rd time. That was rough.(。>д<)Poor girl. Forever 27. Rest in Peace, Kaori. You are missed.m(。_。)m
Should I tell a teacher? My friend is cutting.?
Today in Spanish, I turned around to ask my friend a question, and I saw that she had multiple scars and fresh cuts on her wrist, and I was in shock. My friend is always such a happy person, so when she left the room I asked her best friend if she knew she was cutting. She said yes, but shes better now than she was before. I asked if she was seeing someone for help, she said yes, but I don't know if it's true.. what do I do? Do I tell my Health teacher? I was told not to say anything, and I don't want to start anything. Should I tell a teacher, or believe that she is getting help?
Should I tell my best friend I cut myself?
I've had an eating disorder for the past few years, ever since my late middle school years. I'm 16 now. I also have trichotillomania and I suffer from manic depression. I cut myself, as well. I want to tell my best friend that I cut, but I'm afraid of what his reaction might be. My most noticeable scars/cuts are the ones where I've cut words and phrases. I have a "skinny" scar on my right leg, a "#1" scar on my left, a fresh cut that says "fat" on my left hip bone, and the word "THIN" deepy etched into my right hip. No one knows about my ED or that I cut, and I want to tell someone. I would tell my friend that I cut except for the fact that he doesn't know I have an ED, so I'm afraid he would flip out when he sees all the words carved into my legs. What should I do?
How do you tell your best friend you self-harm?
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.Walk up to her/him. Ask if you can talk in private and if they're talking to someone else, try not to make it seem as if you're going to gossip about the person they're talking to. It's rude and hurtful if you do that. Next, take them into a place with no one around. In a situation like this, I truly believe that words can make the situation worse. It's also easier if you feel like you're going to be emotional. If they ask what's going on say something like “Wait a sec.”Reveal to them your cuts without saying anything still. If they're a true friend, they won't go off on you by making fun of you. If they hug you or cry, let them. Lastly, explain. I almost promise you they will ask about it. If not directly, it will be indirectly like, “Are you okay? What's wrong?” or something like “What happened?” Then, explain. If you don't want to talk about it, tell them politely. This is a sensitive subject and they might be emotional.
Should I tell the teacher my friend is cutting herself?
Absolutely. This is an issue that could potentially kill her if she does it in a certain way. She seriously needs help, and as a past cutter myself, it doesn’t lead to a good path. I got over this, and I would like your friend to get past this dilemma as well, so you need to tell the teacher, she will take care of this matter.
