So I know someone who unfortunately has some issues. She has been in and out of psych hospitals which didn't seem to have worked. She returned home only to continue cutting herself, even in public. I saw the scars on her arms and that will not be something that I am ever likely to forget. It is a tough situation, she is on meds but they either don't work or she is doing all of this for attention. So how on earth do you deal with someone like this? Do you go soft on her and give her sympathy or do you go the hard line and tell her to grow up and get on with her life and be everything that she can be?
I am torn between getting upset and crying over this situation and screaming abuse (not at her of course!) because she is doing really stupid things.

There's no easy answer to that question... I don't know what I would do in such a situation, but I wish you all the best with it and I'm always happy to help.
I'm with you too as it's happened to me too! As I've said to you you do what you can and try not to feel blame or guilt......it's a hard road and not always one you can travel along. Be caring but firm and try to behave as normally as you can given the situation. And of course ...call me, if you need to talk...:-)
