Random Thoughts and Fangirl Spot

41) I Need Advice (Trigger Warnings)

Hey y'all! I just want to start off by saying that what I'm going to talk about might be triggering so please only read on if you're comfortable with reading about ...... Self-harm, depression, and other topics.

Okay so this isn't really about me, it's about a girl I know IRL. So she's kind of a friend to me, we used to go to the same school and hung out a bit before she went to high school. When we did go to the same school, we were really close. Anyways. So she's been cutting and I don't know what to do. Her girlfriend has been trying to help her stop cutting but the girl keeps harming herself. She's had a rough year with coming out as bi to everyone since her mom yelled at her and said to break up with her girlfriend and basically didn't acknowledge her. Her mom eventually realized that her daughter wasn't feeling loved so she wrote a letter to her apologizing for her inappropriate behavior. That was when the girl (I'm gonna call her Mandie so her name isn't said)  started getting out of her depression. But then her gf told her that if she kept cutting them she was gonna break up with her (Mandie). Mandie has been cutting for a couple years now, on and off again. I only knew since last year but she told me that it's been goin on for a while. Her best friend is really worried and doesn't know what to do either. And so Mandie cut again and her gf supposedly broke up with her, so now Mandie is even more depressed. I really want to help her stop cutting but I know that's not an easy thing to do. I've never been in this kind of situation before and have never self-harmed before so I wanted to get some advice from y'all. She's self-harmed herself on her thighs, but recently it's been her arms, and her best friend said they're visible. Mandie, her best friend, another girl, and I used to be the closest friends IRL at school last year before the first two went to high school this year. So the three of us (best friend, other girl, and I) are trying to figure out how to help without upsetting Mandie. Also another thing is that Mandie has been doing drugs, drinking, smoking, etc with her friends and it's worrying us because her friends are the kind of people that do stupid, crazy shît when they're on something. I honestly have NO idea so I hope a t least a couple of you who are reading this have any advice for me and my friends ........
