i want to help her...


Question Posted Tuesday February 22 2005, 6:57 pm

my friend is in a great depression. she has wrote things about almost cutting herself... but cant... wanting to die.... thinking she's ugly.... i really want to help her... but i dont know how. everyone tells her that she is beautiful, has the best personality, and everyone loves her... so why does she need a guy, and she hears this every time she reaches for help, but she hears it over and over again, but she needs to hear more. she decides that the truth is not what she wants to hear and just keeps doing what she does. i want to give her the biggist hugg, and just let her cry and cry inn my arms and to let everything just pour out of her.... but its hard for me to see her like this everyday. please. i really want to help and dont tell me thats she past the point of reason cuz theres always a silver lining. i need help to help her. thanx
*just wanna help her*

Okay, about the whole cutting thing.. this girl needs HELP! Seriously, if she is attempting at cutting herself and letting people know about it.. THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP! This is the biggest sign of all that I know of. She may need help more than I can.. or you can. She needs SERIOUS help.

She may be beautiful.. but can't see it. It's really hard for people to bring out the good and see the silver lining. When she sees herself in the mirror she probably picks out all of the horrible things that nobody even notices. But, she does. As many times you tell her that she is pretty, she's not going to see it.. temporarily. Continue telling her this, but she may not soak it in for awhile. It may take her months.. years. However, any compliments that she gets will be much appreciated in the long run. Make her feel loved.

As far as I can see though, you do make her feel great. But, it may not be enough for her at the moment. DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO MAKE HER HAPPY EVERY SECOND EVERY DAY! It is impossible.. it can't be done. It can NOT be done. Just do as much as you can.. without being stalker-like. While depressed people like to be talked to.. they do NOT like to be bombarded. Keep this in mind.

I really truly..
Hope I helped.. fill me in on what happens!

P.S. I am almost positive that this is about me. I tried as hard as I could to answer in the third person. Sorry if I slipped. And.....thank you.
