okay, so my friend isnt eating much. she's at home by herself all the time. her boyfriend doesnt get to see her much so all she really has is her pets. her mum also goes on expencive holidays when they need the money for food. how can i help her and what could i suggest to her? she's just started cutting herself and i dont know what to do to help. ive already done the usual; talk to her, tell her to go see someone about it. she looks so unhappy whenever i see her. what can she do?

She could go walk around her neighborhood get some fresh air clear her head volunteer somewhere for a few hours to get herself out of the house tell her to search on the internet or in the newspaper to see if there are any jobs available in her area she could try & get her permit once she does she'll be able to get her license & she'll have more freedom to do what she wants cutting herself isn't going to help her it will just make the situation worst you need to make her realize what she's doing to herself is very dangerous she could possiblity bleed to death if she's cutting on her wrists since there's veins there especially if she's home alone & she cuts she won't be able to call for help she needs to
see a therapist talking is better then keeping everything bottled up inside to herself it isn't healthy to do that

(Rating: 4) thanks heaps for your help. she lives out in the middle of nowhere so she cant really go anywhere. and she does have a job but she hates it and she is trying to get her P plates but its hard for her to save money to go for a test when she has to spend it on getting to places. her mum doesnt help her with anything. she has a full time job and is in China for a few weeks leaving my friend at home by herself.
