PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET YOUR SISTER HELP. If she lives at home get your parents involved. If not, then you have to help her. This is not something that will just go away! The suggestions in one of the answers are excellent. This is a sign of a disorder known as borderline personality disorder. It has many other symptoms. you can find much information on the web by just typing in borderline personality disorder or bpd. I know of what I speak as my granddaughter has been diagnosed with it. Some of the symptoms are, not being able to maintain relationships, out bursts of anger, harm directed at ones self, and many more. Cutting is just one of the symptoms. If your sister is in school YOU talk to one of the councelers there. BPD sufferers do not usually think there is anything wrong with them, so they do not seek active help for this. Someone has to intervene for your sister!!! You do not say how old you are, so if you are young, please enlist the help of an adult that will understand. Have them read the information from the web. This is a chemical imbalance in the brain, like many other conditions, also BPD people suffer from depression. Please seek help as soon as possible so she can be treated and at least know what is happening to her. I wish you and her the best.

This obviously is not an convenient matter to manage. I desire matters figure out for you men. It sounds as though she trusts you alot. Has she ever performed this earlier than? Cutting? It could have simply been an impulse factor due to the fact that of constructed up anger. I simply desire to mention that I do NOT imply to criticize your sister whatsoever, i am simply considering out loud. If she was once so livid that she shouted at your dad and little sister, she could have simply been watching for a vent for her anger and aside from smashing the whole thing within the room, she took it inward and harm herself. She could have regretted it afterwards and that is why she assist you to deal with her? Has she continually been like this? Sudden outbursts? Or has it simply been constructing up through the years and now its variety of spilling out? I believe the primary factor to do is get her established for bipolar instantly. If she has it, it might be rather well to get it handled. It could support. I used to reduce myself nevertheless it wasn't rather at the equal stage I do not believe. I was once simply unhappy and depressed (despair by means of nature), i believe she was once simply mad. I do not believe that there's a lot you'll be able to do along with your arms tied due to the fact that of the economic facet. A put up above had alot of choices and handy web sites and so forth. Seeing a surgeon/psychologist might be a rather well factor to your sister I believe. You would possibly think helpless however simply permit her realize that you're there for her and are continually to be had if she needs to speak (which you have got normally already performed a couple of instances :P). Sorry I could not be of extra support, I rather desire matters figure out to your sister quickly. :(

Encourage her to get counseling. Research local low-cost options like community mental health center. Tell her how much you love her and how worried you are about her. You can see that she is hurting and you want better for her. Does she have a good relationship with a teacher, pastor, or health care worker? If she won't talk to a counselor, maybe she will talk to one of them. How old is she (teen or adult)? If you live together, you might want to suggest family counseling. If she won't accept your suggestions, you might try counseling yourself--just cuz they could support you and might have some other ideas. She might be more open to counseling if she sees that it helps you.

ok well this is a touchy subject for me seeing how i used to and sometimes still do and my bestfriend used to. If you annoy her shes just gunna keep doing it. The best idea is to get her to want to stop. If she wants to cut herself shes gunna weither you want her to or not. If you try n talk to her and see why she does it she may tell you why and that she wants help and if she doesnt leave her alone. she will stop when she wants and is ready.
id love to say you coul just tell her to stop, but u cant its a decesion shes gunna have to make on her own.

If she is a minor, you need to tell your parents and then they should take her to counseling. Otherwise, get a support group together for her and stage an intervention. If you tell your parents, you ARE NOT a trouble maker. This is just one of those things they need to know about so that they can hndle it.

teach her a way to let go of stress when you see her getting mad make her do something to get her mind off it and let go of her anger like boxing or karate and she is most likely emo so get her out of that crowd then she should be fine
