I have been a cutter 4 11 years and have been battling 2 stop the whole time. About a year ago i met a new friend abnd we hace became very close, shes helped me with alot of problems, she has problems too and we'v both shared and helped each otha with them. She is not a cutter but has said she has been close to it. Recently she has been down and yesterday she cut herself, im now so worried its because of how i deal with things, is she tryin them too?i am soooo worried about her. Is this my fault shes started to do this? xx

" The other thing I was thinking about after my first comment was that maybe you need not to talk to her about your cutting. I know that will be hard because you two share your problems. I'm not sure if that made sense. But I know with my bf that also cuts we really have to watch what we say to eachother to make sure we don't trigger one another. "

" I agree with hopeless123. It's probably best to treat this as a one-off incident and let it pass. "
