I need help with a friend who cuts herself?!
Question: My friend Kayle is 19 and has been cutting herself for 6years. her dad was a really mean person and would call her mom a ***** and whore all the time. Then treat Kayle like she was stupid. Kids picked on her all time calling her names. she hates herself. She met a girl named Lyn who told her about cutting. Soon Kayle started cutting herself and 6years later she is addicted. She said she "needs" it. When she was 16 she cut her older sister out of her life because she put her down all the time. She hates her father and won't speak to him. She puts on a brave face and acts like she is okay. I know she is very sad inside but can't express it.

The best thing you can do is let her know that you love her and you are there for her. You should try to encourage her to get help. She really needs to find somebody in her life who she is close to and can open up to. Someone who can be available for her 24/7. That is what helped me to overcome my own battle with self-injury. Maybe if you could find a counselor or something and ask them yourself what you should do to help, they might be able to give you a little more insight. There really isn't much a friend can do if the person won't let them help. Right now you really just need to let her know how much you care about her and how much you want to help. Maybe you could even ask her, what can I do to help you. She might tell you exactly what she needs.
:( I would try to get her to see someone about it... otherwise you really should tell an adult who can help. She will probably be mad at you but you will be doing the right thing and just trying to help. Good luck sweetheart.
Obviously she really needs you as a friend through this hard time she's going through. If she doesn't want to talk to you about it, then find someone who she will talk to. Talk to a trusted adult about it immediately so your friend can get help. Don't let her problem go unnoticed.
she probably needs a physcatrist that is the only safe way she can express herself
tell someone and get her help
i have to deal with a friend who has suicide issues
so i have the same problem
i know it can be really annoying and her parents are always making it seems like it is my responsibility to keep her ok
she used to say she liked pain
but i told someone
shes doing better
but she still needs help and shes getting it
having a bf helps
but not always cuz he has the same problem
talk to someone ANYone and hook her up with a phycyatris (how ever u spell that) appointment
i think you need to be there for her whenever she needs ratherthan trying to stop her its difficult to stop a cutter, although i know you care for her take my advce i used to be a cutter, the only reall thing to do for her is to maybee talk to her about getting help or talking to other cuters that have recovered, cutters cut for one reason well mainly one reason, they feel cut off and when they cut its the one thing that can take away the pain and fears of everything but only for that moment, and the end result is scars, hope that helped
Just tell her that you care about her very much and that if she feels the same way towards you that she'll go get help, but not for you but for herself!! Also tell her that what she's doing is not healthy for nobody!
She simply needs to see a psychiatrist, and she'd be OK. There is nothing wrong with seeing a psychiatrist, they are very specialized doctors who do a wonder of good for people. I know, one helped my husband who was bi-polar.
Your friend is an adult, but just talk to her, tell her you'll go to the doctor with her. OR if she's cutting herself in your presence, don't hesitate to call 911. Your friend may not like it, but you'd be saving her life and she'll see that later on when she's well. It would take courage on your part, but you would be helping your friend.
