I going to start by telling you that this is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. With that said I'll tell you about my problem.
I started dating my girlfriend on November 13 of last year, and I love her more than anything else in the world. About a week after we started going out I noticed that she always wore a sweater (when we got these Suicide signs packets from our counsolers), so I asked her if she had been cutting herself. So she showed me her arm. It was covered with scars from when she was cutting and burning herself. After that, I tried my best to give her advice (which probably wasnt good), and started checking her arms every day to see if she was still cutting herself, and it appeared to me like she had stopped.
4 months later, we decided to take our relationship to the next level, and we started having sex. After we made this transition I saw that she was still cutting herself on the insides of her legs, under her breasts, and on her back. And again, I tried giving her some different advice, from what I told her the first time.
Yesterday, we had our first big fight, and she came to school with a sweater on this morning, so I knew right away that she sterted cutting again. But, I had to know, so I grabed her wrist at lunch, and pulled down her sleeve, and she had fresh cut marks on her arm over the old ones. (We eat alone so no one else but me saw her arm)
I dont know what to do about this, please send me a P.M. if you have any advice, because I probably won't remember to come back to this thread after today.
