Q: Girlfriend cuts
asked by: Toxic on December 21st, 2008

I've been dating my girlfriend (she has Bipolar, Depression, and OCD) for about 3 months now and i learned that she cuts herself. She claimed that since she had met me, she had quit, but some of my friends who ride her bus told me that she was cutting on the bus. I ask her to quit and that I care too much about her to just sit back and let her hurt herself and not do anything to try to stop it. She also lost a friend, and something else, i don't know because she wont tell me anything. She only trust 2 ppl, she says, her grandma, and one of her friends whom i do not know. She wont listen to me long enough to tell her that it just tears me apart limb-by-limb to see or even know that she's been hurting herself. I tell her that i'm there for her, and she can tell me ANYTHING, and that i'll always be there for her. Her parents know about it and the only thing they'll do for her is bandage the wounds for her, if needed, they don't care about her. Her mother has even tried to send her to a mental institute, just because she was " a disobedient nuisance." And whether or not she knows it, everything she goes through, i go through with her. Yes, she's had a troubled past, and i tell her that those things are over, and instead of focusing on the bad things going on, think of the good things, the fun time that you've had, etc. Please, I/We really need help. I understand that it is an addiction, and that it will take time, but any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

Try to get her to use rubber bands. I used to cut, its a terrible habbit, very addictive, like smokeing I guess. It will take time for her to trust you, if she ever trys to talk about it just listen, if you dont know what to say, just listen to her.
I hope this helps.
