Re: How can I help a friend at school who is cutting herself? -

Hey there. You sound like a really awesome friend. I know that when I SH, the things I want most aren't usually advice or someone to listen, because I know I have people in my life to do that. What helps me are simple things that make a difference: hugs, cards, and things that will otherwise brighten up my day. For my friend who self-injures and has an ED, I won't directly talk to her about her problem all the time, but I'll give her something, or offer her a hug, to make her feel better. It makes her genuinely smile and I think that can be more healing than any sort of therapy, in some ways.
when you love and laugh abundantly you live a beautiful life.
