My bestfriend is a severe cutter. I don't get to see him as much as I'd like but we talk everyday online... Everytime I talk to him, he's cut again. Everytime I see him, he has fresh cuts and somewhat new scars. He's constantly talking about wanting to die and the only reason he won't kill himself is because he doesn't want to hurt his friends... His mother died when he was 16, he doesn't know his real dad, he lives with a friend and the guys mom who is mean to him all the time. He's 20 now and has no goals in life except to die. But since he won't kill himself, he cuts to extremes on a daily basis.
I want help for him... But he refuses to get help. What can I do? What do I say to him that could be some sort of comfort? Is there anyway I can call someone and have him committed for professional help somewhere? He really needs help. I have a feeling if all this pain keeps up with him, he will end up killing himself. I can't bare to lose someone else I love. *sigh*
