my friend sam, who I hope will become my girlfriend fairly soon, just told me shes been cutting herself for almost 4 years. I ve never done it but I was just wondering what to do?
As a former cutter ... the best thing you can do is be with her so she doesn't feel bad enough to cut. Maybe, if she wants to go cut, instead, you should have a little wrestling match with her, maybe let her win. Cutting for me was always because I was repressing my emotions of anger and disgust; I had to take it out some way, and that's probably how she feels. So, find a constructive way to let her take out her emotions. Wrestling/beating the crap out of something helps, and does less damage than cutting.
