i have a friend of mine who used to cut too, and she told me that she cuts so that she would just feel the physical pain, therefore the emotional pain gets overshadowed by the pain she is feeling because of the cut. but she stopped cutting herself when she promised me she wouldnt anymore, because the cuts are getting worse and many. i told her that she should just right everything she feels (including the things she scouldnt tell me) in a journal, so that she would feel better. and that i am often (always isnt realistic.haha) here in case she needs my help.

if i were a cutter, and my friend offers me help, then i would accept it. but i doubt if i would accept a help from a shrink or something. i just think that i trust my friend better and she knows me better than a shrink, right? but if there's a shrink at hand to help her, what if she tries. i mean, my reaction is propbably different from hers.

hope she gets okay.
