my friend cuts. it’s bc she‘s always getting walked all over, people are using her. they only talk to her when they needs something but they never check up on her. it hurts her a lot. she cuts. and she really has gotten better, but i really want her to stop but i don’t know how to help her. she tells me that ive helped her more than any therapist but i just want her too stop. im here for her and she knows. but the weird thing is that every time she cuts i know. before i see her or she tells me. i just get a gut feeling. even if we arent even texting or seeing each other. i just know. and i want her to know her self worth and how important she is to me and soooo many other people.

Hi there if she has said that you are already helping her i would say you are doing a amazing job and to make sure to take care of your own mental health as it can be very easy in times like this to prioritise someones elses over yours :)
I think the best thing well in my opinion is just being there for her and making sure this isn't the focus of the friendship if you get me and also as someone else mentioned to tell a adult about it so she can get a fully qualified person.But by the sounds of it your being an amazing friend.❤️
i feel and empathize with you.
when ur friend sh, it is easy to be overwhelmed bc it can feel like it is placed on u in a way- not like they're a burden ofc bc you're glad to help them- but it can take an impact on you, and it is rly important that u look out for urself during these times.
i honestly think that u're doing all u can. u cannot force someone to get better, but when u r there for them u r helping. however, if u haven't already, pls encourage them to speak to a trusted adult abt this who can refer them to someone who is trained and qualified.
how r u doing, op?
