Predictably, ...

Kris has deleted all comments in her LJ and disabled posting more. Tsk. How mature. In case anyone wants it, I'd saved the comments page up until Tri's comment. And Kris, not that you're ever gonna read this, but here's what you missed: You may know what it's like to be a depressed, but you don't know what it's like to be a self-injurer.

However, since you're obviously concerned about the person that inspired that entry, here's a tip: listen. Don't judge, don't tell them to make themselves happy, or to get over it, or whatever, don't condemn their cutting, don't do anything but be there and listen.

See, I do understand that she wants to force her friend to get help, but that's not going to work. (Or maybe that's just my own feeling of helplessness. I feel like listening is all I can do. I hope it actually does help.)
