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
My best friend told me she cuts herself, what do i do?
Self cutting is a symptom of mental illness. It can hit anybody and most people hide it very well. If she's telling you about it she's probably asking for help. You need to let someone know. Go see your school counsellor or principal. Someone you can trust who will treat this professionaly and get her the help she needs.
My Best Friend cuts herself, what do I do?
It all started off in 8th grade, when she had an abusive boyfriend. She told me she stopped but she recently told me she never quit. Now I'm not sure what to do. i tried telling her to stop. I took away her razor blade. She told my other friend and were both trying to help her but its hard. We don't know what to say or what to do! please help. Her parents told her not to do it anymore or there sending her away. She's a great friend. She goes to church, has a great boyfriend. She told me she feels very anxious too.
My Friend Cuts Herself?
Omg I used to do that too . Yeah it makes all the tension go away . And then you feel alot better , I know , sounds odd but its the sad truth . . . I started doing it because this guy broke up with me so I was all sad and depressed . My friend helped me to stop doing that sh*t . She would always tell me that it was stupid for me to do that . That one day I was gonna end up cutting into my veins . So each time I felt lonely I'd call her and then lilttle by little I was able to stop thanks to her.. Maybe you can help your friend . Tell her to not let sh*it get at her because its realy not worth it and that there are better ways out from your problems (: Hope this helped .
My Friend Cuts Herself.....?
You have to help your friend. If her mom isn't going to do anything, then ask your friend to talk to the school counselor or another trusted teacher. It sounds like she has some deep rooted issues that stem from more than just her boyfriend. Your friend needs professional help and it may be up to you to make sure she gets it. It won't be easy, but you'll be glad you did. Good luck.
My best friend cuts herself and she is in another country. What should I do?
I do not know that you can really do anything, Martin, except listen to her and encourage her to get professional help, if it is available.You can research (on the internet) WHY people cut themselves (lots of times it is because their feelings are too big to feel or the pressures of life/school/etc. seem to big, so the person “releases” some of the pressure of the feelings by cutting).You do not say her age - so this link may not help as it is about teens; but it is a place to learn and understand:CuttingAnd how you can help:How Can I Help a Friend Who Cuts?I also believe in the power of prayer. If you do, you might also wish to add that to your “how to help” list for your friend(s).Good luck.
My best friend is cutting herself?
I'm in high school and I've struggled with cutting for a long time. What you need to do, above all things, is remind her each and every day that you love her for what she is. Let her know that you care about her, and that you will do everything in your power to help her. Don't freak out, or accuse her of being suicidal. Although cutting and suicidal thoughts often go hand in hand, there are still times when people just get relief out of cutting. Accusing her of having suicidal thoughts might make her worse. It's her way of coping. Don't try to get answers out of her, and above all things make sure she knows that you love her and that you want her to stop because she's perfect the way she is. Also, try giving her these sites: www.givesmehope.com www.operationbeautiful.com www.lovegivesmehope.com http://www.myspace.com/saveyourselfrescueothers Maybe have her listen to The Last Night by Skillet It's a very powerful song. I hope that you can help her, and feel free to send me a message on here, and I will try to help you to understand/get more ideas of ways to help her. <3
My best friend is cutting herself.?
The thing with cutting is, you can seem to have everything, the whole world at your feet and have the best life, but you can still be hurting inside. I've known people who do it for attention and I've known people who have just hoped that one cut, at least one, would be too deep and kill them. It is a problem either way and it needs to be fixed. She needs help, sit her down, tell her how great she is and how much you care for her and then express your feeling towards this. tell her that no matter how bad she thinks it doesn't look or how many times she wants to send you pictures and say "it's not so bad" it IS bad and it's hurtful to herself and the ones who care about her. It's like an addiction and she won't just STOP! She needs HELP! You need to tell her that if she won't listen to you and have your help, you WILL tell someone else and the can help her. She may not like it, but in the long run, you could very well be saving her life. Also, you should know that by her cutting herself on her legs and not her wrist, is a way of "hiding" them, which means it's getting worse and she probably has cuts all over her body that you don't even know about. They become very visible on your wrsit and people start on the legs and upper arms, sometimes the stomach even.
