Why does my girlfriend cut herself?

People cut or self-harm for many different reasons. Your girlfriend may be feeling low, unworthy or hopeless, any range of emotions that lead her to self harm. People often turn to self harm as it turns internal pain into a physical thing, they may believe they deserve to hurt themselves and/or if they feel numb, they may self harm as a way of forcing themselves to feel a strong sensation in that very moment. It is important to have an honest discussion with your girlfriend, to let her know that you are there to support her and that you won’t judge her for her self harm. Try gently asking her questions about her emotions and thoughts about her self harm if she is ready to discuss this with you. But most importantly show her you care and are willing to listen whenever she needs it.

There a are many reasons people do this, maybe she thinks something is her fault or maybe she hurts on the inside. All you can do is be there for her.

There could be a number of reasons, but it might be because she feels alone, scared or unloved. Maybe you should talk to her about it and figure out her reason. Everyone is different.

The reason as to why your girlfriend cuts herself could stem from many different things that either have happened in the past, things that are happening now..or even things that could potentially happen in the future. One thing I can say for definite is that she is not cutting to try and hurt your feelings or your relationship with her at all. Although it may appear as though she is doing it as a result of something that may have been done or said within your relationship, that is often not the case. Is she aware that you know she cuts? If so, maybe ask her as to how it helps her, as opposed to why she does it. This may be an easier way of discovering why she does it. If she does not know you know of it, then perhaps just try to talk to her about things going on in her life to see if you could help limit the negative factors in her life, as these may play a part in her cutting.

There are many different reasons why someone would hurt themselves.

Sometimes people self-harm to get a release from mental pain. Since I don't know your situation I cannot say what makes her harm herself because there could be many reasons

She may be trying to make her internal pain visible. Mental illness is a very hard pain to manage and when we can see the pain it makes it more real for us.

She may be going through some emotional situations that she doesn't know how to express into words. As damaging as it is to see her in such a state, remember not to push. If you push for information too much or push her to stop, it may lead to something worse. Be patient, let her talk an listen deeply, maybe consult parents (if you believe if she is in even more danger), and let her figure herself out. She will come to you with it all eventually.

She was probably holding the blade of the knife incorrectly. People are all unique, and some of them have different ways of holding utensils. It is important that we show love, care and concern, supporting each other as we learn the ropes to be culinary masters.

I have experienced cutting myself, each person has their own reasons of doing it. She must have at one point felt the need to start and possibly doesn't have to control to stop. Knowing someone is there for her might allow her to come to the realization that that is not a solution. Maybe ask her and talk about it?

Unfortunately, many people turn to self-harm when they're under great distress. Although it's an unhealthy coping mechanism, they find relief within it. If you wish to speak to her regarding it, it's important to remain calm and to not shame her about it. Talking openly, and offering her alternatives to self-harm can definitely be helpful; such as the Butterfly Project, listening to calming music, using ice, etc. Best of luck!

No one but she can tell you the exact reason but we can know this much:- she’s going through a tough time. People often cut to relieve frustration and agony. Be there for her!

Your girlfriend is probably depressed but not necessarily. The best thing you can do is to confront her about it. Ask her what's wrong and try to help her with whatever she needs. She is the only person that truly knows why she cuts so you should ask her.

Self harm can be complicated but normally stems from needing a release of all those emotions she has. Normally it's not a suicide attempt, the pain can help her release those emotions she doesn't know how to release any other way! It's important to be there for her! Tell her how much she means to you and never make fun of her cutting! If she needs help have her message me! I specialize in self harm!

Self harm happens for a lot of reasons, Some of the reasons that people self harm are; to distract themselves, alter the focus of their attention, or regain control over their minds when experiencing pressing, unavoidable and overwhelming feelings or thoughts. Release tension associated with strong emotions or overwhelming thoughts. Feel something physical when they are otherwise dissociated and numb. Express themselves or communicate and/or document strong emotions they are feeling and cannot otherwise articulate. Punish themselves. Experience a temporary but intense feeling of euphoria that occurs in the immediate aftermath of self-harm.
