This is extremely serious. People have died from practicing this. This person needs help quickly. You need to tell someone close to her immediatly. Don't let being afraid that this person may get angry at you, stop you from doing the right thing. You will be saving her life. It's far better to lose her as a friend, then to live the rest of your life regretting not trying to get her help, because she killed herself while doing this horrible thing. Not only will she one day "accidently" kill herself while doing this, but every time she does it, she is killing brain cells, and doing damage to her heart and other organs. Talk to her about it, and then if she doesn't seek help, talk to her parents, siblings, whoever...just do what ever it takes to put a stop to this.

So is this a fetish for her or is she emotionally unstable? I know there are people who get off sexually on strangling themselves. However, if she is doing this to herself because she is depressed, then you should tell someone close to her. She may need some counseling. It could be a sign of distress and of someone trying to cope with her life despite great pain. They may feel that they deserve pain or it may help them cope with a deeper emotional pain.

The high she experiences is from oxygen deprivation.
This is a very dangerous practice and many people die as a result of it.
If she can't/won't stop you have a responsibility to tell her parents or an adult you trust.

You need to tell somebody because if somebody is strangling them selves it is not normal. Unless you want to come over one day and be told that shes dead. Thats not something I would want on my concious. You need to tell someone

She is close to the self mutilation syndrome. She has serious problems with self respect and should see someone about this problem before she hurts herself.

You need to talk to your parents and tell them what is going on. Her parents NEED to be aware of this very dangerous situation immediately.
Everyday children are dying from doing this stupid thing. Get her the help she needs, please. If she dies and you did nothing you will be wracked with guilt for the rest of your life.

Yes you should be worried....it sounds like a multiple personality disorder....people can have "multiple personalilties" in which another "person" in their body will try to kill them....this is very serious and should be seen by a doctor....

Yes, you should tell your parents or talk her into talking to her parents. This is VERY dangerous. I know a family that came home and found their son dead from doing this. He was doing it to get high. Please get your friend help before it is too late.

talk to her about it. if shes doing it as a cheap way to get a high and she is not suicidal you should still talk to her because if she accidentaly holds on for too long she could pass out and potentialy die!!!!
