People who self-injure can learn to use new and healthier coping mechanisms. This process may take years to develop. It also is important to get help from a therapist who specialized in self-injury.

I got most of my info from the link below. This website offers more indepth info and some other resources. Check it out.


As with the awnsers above, it sounds like she is experienceing some kind of depression or personality disorder. I would approach her and try to convince her to see her family doctor, he/she would be able to recommend a good psychiatrist or psychologist. Good luck!
This is an increasingly common phenomenon, and congratulations to you for wanting to find out more/understand what is happening with your girlfriend.

I recommend the site www.cmha.ca, which is the Canadian Mental Health Association website. On the left side of the main page you will see a link to a new informational pamphlet on "Youth and Self-Injury" which you might find helpful.

For those of us who are not "cutters", it is hard to understand this expression of distress. But we can learn to identify the emotional anguish that drives someone to that point, so that we can help them.

Good luck and good health to you both.


Because she is sad and when she cuts herself the pain from cutting distracts her from whatever is wrong. Just keep loving her.
It is a way (and an unhealthy one at that) that she has found to deal with stress, depression, emotional pain and distress, etc.
