about
Well i don't really like doing 'about me' bits, so all I'll say is that I want to help as much as I can, and I think i'm quite good at seeing things from the perspective of others, a characteristic, I've always believed, to be essential when giving good advice. Feel free to ask me anything you like =)*I've added my email, should be somewhere on my page and if anyone recieves advice from me and just wants to ask more about their problem or what they've said, they can ask me through that if they prefer =)
advice
My friend is taking lots of drugs.
I asked her what she's taken and she listed a lot of things including Crack and LSD...
Shrooms, E, pot... Much, much more.
)': It hurts me a lot to know this...
What can I do?
I want to help her...
But when she's not on drugs, she gets really depressed. and Cuts her self...
She use to cut herself, then got on drugs... now doesn't cut herself...
What can I do or say?
My advice may be to get to the root of the problem,find out whats causing her to take drugs or cut herself because even if that doesn't help her get of drugs straight away it would probably make things better in the long run. Just as long as your careful not to be to blunt about it, try and get her to talk through whatever it is thats on your mind. It is often said that someone cutting themselves is either because they loathe themselves or they are looking for attention, by trying to talk to her about what goes on/has gone on in her life you'll could deal with both of those.
I think what i'm really trying to say is, if someones gonna take drugs, its quite hard to just say no dont take drugs and thats probably what anyone else you mentioned it to would say and rehab or going to any kind of clinics all cost money, which not everyone has. So identifying the root of the problem and dealing with it may work out the best long-term. Just get involved in her life basically and make sure she knows your there for her.
Hoping things improve
