quietGuy13 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Just wondering cause I was watching this show about cutters who cut because of drepression. Then i also noticed my friend has a bunch of slashes around her wrist... and I started worrying. We're not that close friends so i didn't ask her but it makes me feel sad.
USMCHokie Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I would suggest she get professional help and then make her not my girl. Of course I'd feel bad about it, but it's not my place to save the girl...
Ginger Beer Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 If it was a friend I'd try to help them as much as possible. If it was a girlfriend I'd still try to help them as much as possible. I don't know if this is the right thing to do but that's what I would do, I wouldn't dump her or leave her.
Author quietGuy13 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Anymore thoughts on this? Thanks for the answerers. i'm not gonna leave her. Well she'snot my GF but ill continue being her friend.she's nice

Well she'snot my GF but ill continue being her friend.she's nice Try and help, but keep things in perspective - you're not a professional therapist and you can't really know for sure how to help her if at all. Just don't get to much attached, eh? It's a sure recipe for a future heartache.

Feelsgoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Well, quietguy13, I have to hand it to you. You are definitely one of the more creative trolls on this board. In fact, you're up there with Mme Saucer and the girl with the multi-dating blog (forgot her name). You are living proof that men can troll lovey dovey message boards just as well as the females do. Well done sir, well done.
xoxoDaniellexoxo Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 If they are scars then I wouldn't worry as much. Cutting is a method that people use to take their minds off the pain of depression by having physical pain. I was best friends and still am friends with a girl who used to cut and I knew her when she was cutting. I was 16 and didn't know how exactly to handle the news so I talked to someone about it and later found out how bad her home life was. I supported her and was there when she was sad and told her that it hurt me to see her hurting herself. Telling her to stop won't do anything be there and take her mind off the pain, I hope she gets better.
Audrina Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 In my much younger years I cut myself a few times, and yes, I was SERIOUSLY depressed at the time. I'm way over it now and I'm open and willing to talk about what I experienced. However, just because I cut myself 14 years ago, doesn't mean it's something that should be held against me today. What can I say really? I dealt with my issues and got over it. If someone you know is a cutter I would really encourage them to get professional help. Unless you are a mental health professional there isn't much you can do for someone other than give them your support and let them know that you are someone they can lean on.
