What do you do when you finally have your worst fears come true.
What do you do when you find out that your best friend in the world is a cutter.
I just found this out recently yet I figured it was happening, but I just wasn't sure. Now I'm so scared, and I dont know what to do. I want to do whatever I can to help. I know just being there and listening helps, but is there anything else?
Please leave something.
Thanks So much

This is...an unexpected turn of events.

Thank you all.

Be there. Support. Be a friend. Make it a point to see past the problem and see the person inside. Don't let this change the relationship you've had with them. Emphasize through your actions that you will be with them through the storm and the calm, and this is just a rough part that will pass overhead, and then the stars will be out again.

Thank you so much. I will and always will.

Listen what you need to do is to be there in heart and spirit. Counsel him and let him know that you will always be there when he needs someone to turn to. tell him to keep fighting because he is a fighter

Thank you so much.
That helps a lot.
I know even if I didnt get any replys I was just going to be there for him. No matter what.
I told him I would be there when ever he needed me. So hopefully this helps him.

Being a cutter really isn't the worst thing that can happens. It is a very unhealthy coping mechanism, and is harmful both physically and mentally to the individual, but atleast your friend has you.

Best thing you can do for your friend, is to be a friend, talk to him/her, DON'T tell them not to do it, just tell them that you don't like it when they do, and that you care about them and just want them to be safe. Forcing them not to cut is like the worst thing you can do because cutting is often used as the only way that an individual can feel they are in control, and if they lose that it can be even harder on them to get better.

Basically just be a friend, you're friend is going through a rough time, and she/he needs somebody they can rely on.
