I know somebody who used to cut herself and know she is thinking about doing it agian what do i do?

Answer 1

Hide all sharp objects and find a therapist!!!!!!

Answer 2

Make sure she knows that cuts that are made will be permanent, and encourage her to seek help from a self harm prevention counsellor. This sort of thing is not actually a cry for help, she's doing it for certain reasons, but she wants to be helped and she wants a way out of her pain without cutting herself.

Answer 3

Tell your parents, that way they can talk to her parents-I know that sometimes it is better when parents talk to each other instead of you going to them, it gets taken more seriously. It is a very serious cry for help, my oldest daughter is a cutter, she lives with her dad and she is bi-polar and wasn't getting the proper medication or therapy, now that she is on the right meds, she doesn't cut but everyone in the family is now keeping a closer eye on her. Don't dismiss her cry for help, step up and be there for her.

Answer 4

I would talk to her, get her some help if thats right for her!! I would watch her when ever possible, dont leave her alone to make sure she cant cut! The most important thing is to let her know she is not alone and that you are there for her!! I think if you try to always be there and dont leave her alone and get her some help if its that serious everything will be fine!

Answer 5

If she is a minor you need to tell an adult, cutting can lead to other ways of self mutilation, cutters normally are depressed and want to "vent" the pain, it also may lead to suicide or violence. If she's an adult you need to tell her that she makes you scared, or that maybe she needs to talk to a professional that can listen and give advice, cutting is not the way to deal with depression, nor is it fun

Answer 6

Cutting yourself is really serious DEEP issues within. I would tell her parents, your teacher. If she is too old for that ask your friend if she would like to stop. If she does, then try and find a cousellor for her to see. Help her make the first step

Answer 7

Tell her that you know it, and that she is just in need of pure attention. Don't play the game, she wants the attention. If she constantly repeats it is because she wants you to give her all the attention. This is sad, I would refer her (tell on her) because at the end if something happens to her, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Even if she gets mad at you and decides not to speak to you ever again. It's about her health, and not about being "cool" with each other.

Answer 8

well dont sure as hell lit her attempt it again the girl sounds like she's on the edge. Try to talk her down not using harsh words or anything like that but be soft and explain to her that she is much needed in this world and if that doesn't work kiss her good bye and pray that god has murssy on her soul when she goes to hell

Answer 9

Encourage the person in seeking professional help...like a Psychiatrist or Psychologist

Answer 10

Encourage the person to seek professional help. Cutting is a cry for attention, and the person is not well mentally.

Answer 11

the fact that your frien told you, means that this person really doesnt want to do it...they are reaching out to you.
there are two ways to handle this, you can try talking them out of it...which is most likely the type of attention they are seeking, or you can try a direct and brutal approach, by giving them the knife, and telling that person to quit threatening to do it, and just do it.

I would not suggest anyone other than a trained professional to use this second approach, if this person does not respond to your reaching out to them, then get this person to see a trained psychiatric.
