By friend loves a gay guy... - 23/09/2013 20:49 - United States - Cincinnati

Today, my best friend told me that she no longer wants to cut herself because now she's madly in love with a guy in our school. She doesn't know that he's gay. FML

Better to break the news to her now over Ben and Jerry's and romantic comedies rather than have her figure it out alone.That's what best friends are for; there for the good, bad and ugly.

That's a terrible thing to say! Do you even know what emotional trauma people go through which leads them to cut? I am personally very happy that she's stopped, and I am sure her friend will be able to help her in this situation.

I feel for her cause she's going to neph crushed. Hope she doesn't resort to cutting.

Don't tell her...her cutting should stop...just hope she doesn't cut more or dig deeper when/if she does find out...

It seems like your friend needs a little professional help and her friends to help her when she's feeling down. If she relies on a guy for the rest of her life, whats going to happen when the person stopping her from hurting herself isn't interested? Like the guy stopping her now, he's gay. Once she finds out, she's going to need some help so she doesnt hurt herself anymore. I think you need to talk to your friend, maybe get all of her friends together and form an intervention to tell her she has to get help and not rely on a guy to help her stop. Make her feel loved and show her she has better reasons to live for and stop hurting herself for. I made the mistake of relying on a guy for my happiness too, and I was devastated when we broke up. But I got the help that I desperately needed. Now I don't even think about doing those things, and I'm a lot stronger now. I've already moved on and have gotten my heart broken again since then, but I handled it well the second time because I had my friends and professional help that kept me strong. OP, be there for your friend. Don't let her hurt herself anymore.

Like other people have said, you should get your friend help. I would sit her down and have a talk with her about how cutting is a bad way of dealing with problems and that it doesn't solve the problems, it only allows them to fester. If she doesn't respond to that, then I'd tell her parents so that they can get her the professional help she needs. I sincerely hope you and her are close enough friends that you feel you can be the there for her through the process. While I don't have experience with cutting, I do have experience with bad coping mechanisms and I know firsthand how bad it can get. The best of luck for you and your friend.

I think to be a real friend is to report the sic ideal tendencies show she can have professional help! Even if it hurts your relationship at least you know you did the right thing

Her life sucks. Your life is kind of irrelevant in this story...

I crushed on a guy freshmen year of college to sophomore year. I just found out he's gay. I'm heartbroken.

This might make her it can be a good thing be supportive

I don't understand why 35 is being down voted. he's just trying to find a possible silver lining. be supportive OP, maybe you could try ease her into the news by throwing hints about. good luck, I hope she makes a full recovery some day soon
