I see from the discussions that support is important. My daughter is a cutter and is in the hospital. She feels like no one can help or understand her but I know you guys can!
If any one would like to send a word of encouragement or suggestions I would like to print them out and take to her when I visit tomorrow.
Maybe then she won't feel so alone....

as you can see there are others out there ...
I know, we who SI tend to think there ain't no one that understands but THERE ARE ... here is the proof. A bunch of messages for you.
One thing I do have to tell you though is that you have the precious gift of having a mom that cares about you - use that gift. When times get rough and u can't deal with it - lean on your mom and let her into your "world". I am sure she'll understand (even though u may think she won't)
give her a chance, open up to her & get professional help!!!
good luck in your journey
I am with you!!!

Hey, just want to say that it's awsome that you are here. because it means that they are actually trying to help. I think that's great, and i'm sure in the future your daughter will really apreciate it.
okay, to your daughter.
Boy, you must be feeling not too hot about now, having people dote on you hand and foot, taking away anything sharp. I know that the loss of control is scary and annoying, but just take it as a compliment, it means you are cared about!
And never forget that, you have plenty of people (including a loving mom) that care about your health and safety. But mostly, never be afraid to simply say that you are hurting, or that you are unhappy. It's okay to need a little help- most people need it at one point in their life. Your importnant and worth it, never forget that.
I wish you all the best, and I KNOW that you can do this. Sometimes it just takes a lot of stubborness and a little bit of help.
