My Girlfreind Is Hurting Her Self Posted: 02-01-05 19:50pm
My girlfreind keeps trying to cut
herself.
I'm worried when I go to work i'll come
back home and she'll have a cuts on her
arms or some where else. I know she is
cutting herself but she hides them well
and I don't see them till weeks latter.
What am I to do I can't be around her all
the time :?: :(

I also harm myself (in many ways). Have
you sat down and had a conversation with
her about what brings her to do this?
I'm guessing she feels lonely and has a
lot of self hatred or guilt. This is
something that is extremely hard to deal
with and completely put an end to. I
would just suggest showing her an endless
amount of care and concern. Let her know
that you love her as often as you can.
Hug her..Hold her. She needs to feel
cared for. This will take so much time.
Patience and understanding are key.

Very true, and just ask
her what you can do for her, to make her
some tea, run a bubble bath, play video
games, go skate boarding, take up a dance
class together or karate, rent a movie,
have a date night just the 2 of you.
