" Is there a crisis hotline that you can call? They are generally good at listening without judging. My admittedly limitted experience is that cutting is often an addiction which like any other does respond to someone else getting mad at it. "

" missu, I'm sorry, I didn't know this was where you were at earlier tonight. I hope you're okay, and that you've got what you need to stay a while longer. I'm looking forward to talking with you again soon.

Keep posting, keep talking, keep reaching out. We're here!!! "
