that’s what i do with my friend who wants to cut. i tell her that i’d cut really deep on my wrist and not care if i ended up killing myself, if she cuts.
How does it help your friend? In the long run, there will always be a reason to cut. Only they can remove that option.
I don’t mean to lecture…promise!
The day your friend values their own being, the day they choose themself over cutting? That will be the day they choose life. Sometimes we honor those we love most by silence.
they realize how much them cutting hurts you. how dumb it is to start. I cut alot and so one more cut isnt anything more but when they realize they caused you to bleed theyll stop

Yes you are right….and no, you are wrong.
It is right that we each choose — and claim– our own behaviors.
Reaction chains help no one…not you, not them.
Are you trying to demonstrate how you care for them? Isn’t that best done by standing in support of their right to choose?

How long did it “work,” Sunflower?

Wow! I guess I cannot understand such thinking. It seems like blackmail and rejection to me.
for a while… she say me cut right in front of her and i think it scared her
it kinda is blackmail, but if it helps save/help a friend. it’s worth it.

For a time, I believe you are right.
Ultimately, though, the choice is only delayed, sunflower. But you already know that.
I wish you did not hurt so much.
it worked for the remainder of our friendship
