I need help…
I recently found out my friend has been cutting. For a while. And all I want to do is help her and stop her from doing it. I cry whenever i think about the subject because i cant bare to even think about the fact how she must have been feeling. When I found out I gave her a hug and she immediatly started crying. I want her to feel safe and that she can come to me. She seems like such a happy girl and I never would have thought this would have happened. The way I found out is I asked her why she was wearing a hoodie ( It was 90 something degree’s out ) and she said " im scared". I will never forget those two words. I then said scared of what. She shrugged. I wasent sure what was wrong so I just started thinking of reasons why should would be scared. I then asked “did you cut yourself” I dident think that she would say yes I thought she would laugh and say no ofc not. She was silent. I then hugged her and we went home from the park. We have been friends for years and I cant believe she went through that. And I almost harmed myself after finding out because I dident want her to go through it alone. But i dident because i dident want to put more on her. All I’m asking is that anybody that has harmed before just tell me what you wish somebody would have done to help… So many people go through these things feeling alone and I cant let that happen to her. Thank you to anybody who read this
I can totally understand , so first just be with her when she needs you or just be with her all the time dont let her be alone when she is at her home just text her call her dont let her feel that she is alone ask her to do new hobbies which makes her busy and feels less lonely
Thank you so much! I have been trying to do that since she told me. I have been texting her to try and get to bed early because she said she does it at like 3am. I have been hanging out with her almost everyday and I make sure to at least text her every day. Thank you your advice helps so so much!
I’m glad that it helped
