crissyx3 answered Monday September 25 2006, 5:44 pm: i have some friends who have been through that. my suggestion is to talk to her and ask her why shes doing it. if shes secretive and wont say anything than definately get help. she might be thinking about suicide and i know that you definately DO NOT want that to happen to your g/f. Just let her know if she does say she is going through a rough time that you are always there for her but you don't want her hurting herself to get rid of the pain she is feeling.
Good luck;; xx [ crissyx3's advice column | Ask crissyx3 A Question ]

just make sure she knows she can call you at any time of the night (im assuming that when she does it) and that youre there for her and that you just want her to be happy and if there is something in her life that is causing her to do then make sure she knows that she always has you and that you will help her get through, she really needs someone she can count on.
who ever her best friend is, if she knows i would get together with her and your girlfriend and explain to her how much it hurts you guys and how much you care for her.
its kind of like peer pressure only in a good and benficial way.
hope i helped<3 [ amandaxxbearx3's advice column | Ask amandaxxbearx3 A Question ]

becky321 answered Monday September 25 2006, 12:35 pm: This is a serious issue, as you probabley know. She seems to have something going on in her life that's deeply emotionally hurting her. If you two are very close, you could try saying something along the lines of "Hey, I love you so much and I'm worried... etc" but if that would be weird, just constantly tell her you love her, try to keep her smiling and keep her happy. Things like these, as hard as they are to handle, tend to pass, and you can help by keeping her laughing.
