Why does my girlfriend cut herself?

People cut themselves for various reasons. They usually cut when they want to escape feeling numb or when they want to feel something other than the sadness and pain. The best thing you can do is be there for her and try to help her. Don't get angry and give her an ultimatum.

There are many reasons one can recure to self-harm. To most people is a way of coping with emotions, while to others its a way to feel something, even if its phisical pain. Best way to know should be ask her, that can also help her vent about her feelings and you could try to help her better that way. Hope she gets well soon, good luck.

It could be a lot of reasons we all have our own reasons to do it. It could be because it helps get rid of the pain inside

Your girlfriend is probably going through something that's difficult for her to manage. She is struggling with mental health issues such as depression or bipolar disorder. These mental illnesses will often make a person feel numb and void of emotion. For most people, cutting and other forms of self harm will be them trying to feel something again, or it might be an attempt at suicide. Cutting can become an addiction and is very dangerous. You should make sure she is getting professional help from a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

People cut for several different reasons. The only way to find out why she does it is to ask her yourself.

People cut themselves for different reasons. Sometimes because they are going through rough times and mentally cant handle it so the cut to forget the mental pain. Other cases it is the opposite. They will cut because they feel mentally numb and need to feel something. I suggest talking to her about it and just be there to support her and help her get clean. It will take time but together you can get there.

She might feel bad about herself, and wish that she looked better, or different. She may also feel "numb" and think that the only way for her to feel something is to harm herself.

Self-injury can be triggered through a variety of different things. It can be incredibly frustrating and upsetting through the eyes of a loved one, it's best not to understand but to offer emotional support. Quite strangely, trying to relate to someone who is self harming can be a dangerous thing to do. No one can ever completely understand how a person is feeling, no matter how much you know them. I would advise recommending her to a mental health professional, if that is a shallow option, all you can really do is offer her emotional support. An individual who self harms is more than likely going through a tough time, it never hurts to have someone there to talk to :)

She May be going through something she feels she cant handle ir is depression itself. Maybe you should talk to her and try and help.

To take away whatever pain she nay be emotionally feeling. A cry for help and attention . A feeling of loneliness
