I am a 17 years old teen girl and just became bestfriends with a girl who I have known for 12 years now, her name is Susan. I have talked with a friend of mine who appears to have mental problems too and is becoming anorexic, about Susan and she told me that they are talking continuously about their problems because they both have mental problems. So she told me that Susan was bullied in the 8th grade and people were calling her ugly and stuff, so she started to cut herself.. So now we're in the last year of high school and she became a very special friend of mine. She said that she was going to a psychiatrist in the middle of a conversation and she quickly changed the conversation like a month ago. So tonight while we were out drinking with another friend and her I saw the cuts in her left wrist,I know she is right handed and she was wearing a long sleved shirt in this hot weather.. When I asked what happened she told me that she fell into the bushes but I've seen how descreetely the marks were done and in line that I'm just sure she cuts herself, I pretended not to notice and talked about something else seeing her uncomfortable so the other friend won't notice.. Apparently the psychiatrist isn't much helpful either. It was new, during last year Ive seen nothing in her wrists.. The cuts were pretty bad.. I think and am sure I can help her just can somebody who has been cutting themselves pleaaase! Give advise how can I help and what to say to her. I'm a really loving and caring person I will do everything for her just tell me how.. She doesn't have any family problems I know her parents and she turned out to be beautiful in high school she can be with the guys she has crushes on but the guys are just such es that doesn't call after generally in her second randesvous.. I just need to make her notice her worth.. As a friend I want to be there for her I want to give the care and love inside me that I have built for her.. I just can't help but have motherly feelings inside me so strong that I need to help her.. She is my best friend please help me!!
