Hello everyone!

Well... I don't really know where to start from and what to say. It's not about me, but about a friend. She's a 15 year old girl and she lives far away from me. I met her online and got to chat with her, to find out some not really pleasant things. She's cutting herself a lot. That's because she has problems with her parents, friends... Plus, she doesn't eat a lot. Yesterday she told me that she was fine, watching tv, when she found herself holding a razor and cutting her arm.

I'm trying to help her. but I don't really know how to do that. I used to cut myself too, but I stopped (without going to a doctor). So, talking to her, makes me go back to those moments too. When I'm trying to tell her she should go to a doctor, she gets mad, so I stopped doing that, because I'm afraid that she'll stop talking to me too. She believes that I'm the only person that can help her and she won't accept to talk to anyone else, because I can understand her (since she knows about my cutting).

So, I feel that I'm in a dead end here.... I want to help her, but I don't really know how. Plus, talking to her makes me being ready to start cutting myself again. But I don't want to stop her talking about that, because she needs to.

*and now, head explodes.....*
