    Girlfriend has problems. What can I do to help?
    My girlfriend has some problems of her own. She suffers from depression,anxiety, and mood swings. She gets insecure and avoids social events with many people.
    Last night she told me that she started to cut again.
    She dealt with suicidal thoughts and self harm during the past few years (before we started going out) and she's been doing well lately.
    I asked her why she did that and she didn't really have a reason. I asked her to stop, to which she said that she would, and I told her to think of a good reason to stop for herself and that I shouldn't be the reason. To this she replied that she couldn't think of a reason, which bothered me greatly.
    She is currently seeing a guidance counselor and taking medication.
    I take out hours of my day from studying and sleeping to talk to her and help her with her problems. (I end up going to sleep at 1-3am depending on the day)

    Is there anything I can do to help?
    And advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I just don't want her to continue self harming or do anything else that could really hurt her.
