Jess showed me a few cuts she did yesterday.  Never before have I been so triggered.  They weren't deep, thank god, but what bothers me more is that she tried it at all. She told me she was curious about it and why people do it. She said it didn't do anything for her which I am thankful for but I am just scared that it might become a coping mechanism. She has been through a lot and it is possible that she might try it again when she is having a bad day. I told her I wouldn't tell anyone because I understand her curiosity.  I am just so scared she might do it again and wouldn't tell me. I didn't yell or get angry I just wanted to know why and we put neosporin on them. We had a long discussion about self harm and why I do it. She told me some friends of hers do it as well which was the main reason she tried it. I am kind of lost. I am glad she told me but I also wish she had just talked to me rather than doing that to herself.
