Hey  everyone. I was chilling with my girlfriend a week ago, and it was fun and all, but then she asked “can I tell you something?” of course I said  sure. Then, she told me she has serious depression. Like super severely. Then she showed me her scars from where she had been cutting herself with a knife. They’re super deep, and bloody. I was in shock, so I just kinda held her and cried. She explained everything, how she feels super alone and no one understands her. She’s only told her her best friend and me. She is terrified to tell her parents and feels super guilty about it, to the point where I fear it will be worse than cutting herself. It’s especially hard because she’s super extroverted, and is super bubbly and happy on the exterior, but then she goes home and cries all night struggling to put her knife away and not do it again. She says part of the reason is because she feels like everyone  thinks she’s annoying and look down on her, which I know isn’t true because shes super popular and well liked everywhere. I know she’s a Christian so she would be in a better place, but if she takes her life at 15, i couldn’t go on at all. I already almost lost my best friend to suicide, and I’m just a stressed teenager. I really love her and am worried, so if any of you got through depression, please send advice or help, She really needs it :(
