My buddys life sucks, so to ease her pain, SHE CUTS! How can I make her stop without her having a panic attack?
Your friend needs to understand why she cuts. Cutting releases feel good chemicals called Endorphins. The relief is only for a short time. It is a very dangerous thing to do as she doesn't know where her major arteries or tendons are. Somehow during childhood your friend was unable to learn the healthy skills needed to manage her emotions. She cuts when she is stressed, angry or depressed. There are some very good therapies that can help her learn how to manage her emotions in healthy ways without a need to harm herself. Your school counselor understands Cutting and knows what kind of help is needed. Why don't you talk to him/her about this. Your counselor will keep your name aanonymousif you want. Possibly you could get your friend to go with you.
