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 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.
What do I do when I find out my friend cuts herself?
It’s nice to see that you want help your friend, more people like you please :-)Because she self-harm it doesn’t mean she is suicidal.I have self-harmed before and I wasn’t suicidal…I did it to get the pain away from my heart to my skin instead.It made me feel good, so I continued doing it.I didn’t wanted to kill myself, since leaving my family wasn’t something I wanted.Note: I’ve been suicidal once, because of depression.So my advice to you is; don’t tell her about your experience, not yet. Instead talk to her and ask her if she wants to talk to you about it or if you can help her in someway.You don’t know why she self-harms, so maybe it’s a start to ask if she wants to tell you. With luck she talks to you and then you can take it from there.She might be suicidal, however you need to be sure. If she is, then you need to tell someone who can take action.I don’t know how old she is, but if she’s under 18, then I would tell her parents. It can become very dangerous and she can become addicted to it, if she isn’t already.It’s very unhealthy.But before telling her parents, talk to her first and see if there is anything you can do to help her.Be there for her :-)
My friend cut herself because of me?
I gave my friend/ she took some of my blades to help me stop cutting. She recently told me she cut herself with my blades and because of me (she treated me badly and felt like she deserved it) she also cut herself because I was angry with her..I feel like a terrible person because I basically allowed her access to the blades and I was apart of the reason and I dont know what to do and every time I try to talk to her about it she says but you did it but I think its idiotic and ive been trying to stop and I havent self harmed until today and im really sad idk
SELF-HARM.. HELP!! my friend cut too DEEP!!?
You are pulling the clot off when you remove the gauze. Hold the gauze down on the cut very hard. It takes about 3 minutes for a good clot to form. 3 minutes. Then very very gently, remove the gauze in teeny tiny little amounts as to not break the clot off. Or you can put a tiny amount of antibiotic ointment on the gauze before you press down but you only need a speck - just to keep the clot from sticking to the gauze. Or you can keep the gauze on there and not remove it till tomorrow. You probably do not need to go to the hospital. Arteries and major veins in your legs are very deep near the bone and run down the inner thigh and behind the knee then twists around right next to the shin bone. Blood spreads out in such a way that is alarming to alot of people but an actual life threatening hemorrhage is ungodly to behold. If you go to the hospital there are going to be some awkward question and a psychologist will be called and both of you could end up in lock down on the mental ward. I am not going to fuss at you about this for reasons that will become obvious later on in your life. *addition: Once you get the bleeding stopped, leave it alone overnight. Don't pick or poke or pull at it, OK?
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.?
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.
I have a friend who cuts herself commonly. What do I say to her to get her to stop?
You don’t tell her to stop. Never tell her to stop. Because if you tell them to stop, and they have a moment of weakness and cut anyway, your expectations will add to their guilt.This is obviously easier said than done because I know someone who cuts and I have instinctively told them not to and after further reflection, I realized I shouldn’t.Instead talk to them. Find out what makes them cut without showing discust or fear or anything that might cause them to withdraw from the conversation. You don’t want them to feel ashamed.Then do your best to help them avoid the situations that make them want to cut. This could be a person, a place… almost anything.Any addiction or coping habit often has a trigger. When I sit down at my computer, I want to play games and drink a coke. If I want to avoid games or stop drinking coke, I have to avoid being at my computer because it is a trigger.Often avoiding the triggers are enough, so identify what those are. If you can keep them away from it long enough, eventually they may no longer crave it. Keep conversations and activities positive and try to avoid the drama that makes them cut in the first place, atleast until they are no longer cutting. Deal with one issue at a time.
