...writing about cutting herself. I have not been able to stop thinking about her, does anyone know what happened?

how did you find out she was suspended?  It seems really funny to me that people can post all kinds of crap here, curse and be profane, but let someone come online here actually wanting help and BOOM!  She gets kicked off.\nI am starting to think that Yahoo Answers is composed of a bunch of hypocrites.

sometimes its for the attention, maybe she is not getting enough attention at home and feels that this way someone will pay attention to her if she continues to hurt herself. She might also have some repressed memories of past abuse, and that might be the only way she feels it gets rid of the *dirtiness*.Or it could also be the fact that she feels that to cut herself it will let the pain bleed out, and that everything will come out with the blood. And that the scars are a  reminder of all the pain she has endured. Its all really bad, and you should tell her to seek a counselors advice before she slits her wrist and commits suicide. Or if she wont get help, speaking up can also be one of the best things a friend can do, even if she does get mad at you, its the best interest of her self.

Dude, it's only been 6 months.  Either you got too close or she did and you both of you are retarded for letting that happen.  Leave her alone and move on.  Quit calling, delete her Myspace info from yours (MySpace is stupid anyways and will be shut down this December), and let her be.  She'll forget about you faster than you can her, but you'll be back to normal in a week or 2.

That was a pretty tramatic thing for you to go through.  You may need some therapy to be able to handle it.  I would imagine anyone would need therapy after something like that.Please get you some help.  If you need to talk to someone I'm just a click away.  God Bless

People.... this is real, Ivana did indeed pass away, as NRA4EVR stated above.  I understand how easy it is for you to type a few keys and send something you didn't really mean.\n\nIs this another crazy joke?  - was my first thought.   She was part of the crowd who hapily answered the goofy questions along with the serious, and I just couldn't believe her passing was real.  But Ivana is gone.  Rest in peace, Ivy.

Tis truly a flower. And good looking up on her. In a book I have called Severed, the killer is from my home town of Canton, OH. Whether this is true or not I do not know. But damn it  is weird going by where he used to live as the houses still stand. It is by the Timken Roller Bearing Co. (And hear I though the most f*cked up thing to come from my area was my friend Brian Warner aka Marilyn Manson LOL) Too bad the movie they did did not do anything for her.

Everything that has been said so far is amazing, so I won't elaborate much. \nI was emotionally abused as a child, and at the ripe old age of 22 have experienced the spectrum of eating disorders, emotional problems and, of course, medications. As a function of my self-hatred, I began to cut myself a couple years ago. I have since stopped, but still have times where I struggle.\n\nI used cutting as a way to 'come down' from a state of manic anxiety, panic or just emotional pain in general. I definitely recommend getting help through a psychiatrist/psychologist, and embarrassing as you may find it, reach out to anyone that you are close to so that you will have a support system in your time of need. \n\nFrom my experience, I recommend that you try to take the feelings that push you to self-harm and express them another way, that mimics the release of cutting. This may seem silly to some people, but what worked for me was hitting inanimate objects... beating the crap out of my bed, tearing up magazines, etc. Although this does not completely satisfy the urge to cut, it can get out some of the excess adrenaline and frustration that may be fueling your urge in the first place. One other thing that worked for me was to imagine that it was my own child or someone I love who was cutting... to imagine the precious skin and flesh of someone else being mutilated and what a mockery it is of how amazing we are... try to think of your body as your shelter and a precious friend that you want to protect...\n\nI hope this helps... I haven't cut in a long time, and I'm glad that I stopped (even though I still struggle with the same old demons). I look at my scars with a sense of sadness and protectiveness... as a reminder that destroying myself is not productive or beneficial. \n\nAnd always know that you are loved :) Always.

Dear Looking For..,\n There are many selfish people in the world that think 'if you are their friend you can have no other friends.' These people are insecure and they're probably some of the most depressing people you could choose to be around. Your 'suicide thoughts' might be because of this person is making you feel trapped and posessed by them (her). I advise you to get away from her and make new friends. She can grow up and except it or be lonely, but don't let her bring you down anymore! You aren't her property! \n\n If you have anymore suicide thoughts, Honey, go talk to your Mom or your school counselor, because you may need medicine to help you with depression. \n I wish you happiness and many new friends.\n           Hope_I_Helped!

she was brave indeed. and i am glad that she kept a diary to enable us to read and know of how much pain and sufferings one can endure...and how cruel people can be....and i am seriously thinking of keeping a daily journal, a real daily journal and not something that i would lose interest in after 6 weeks or less...wish me luck......and oh, have you watched the movie, The Pianist? ohhhhh heart wrenching!!

hey i am the a s s here. I am trying my best to deal with it. I thought it would go away but it has not. I have noone to help me with this and I am at a loss. maybe the best idea is just death. I cannot live like this anymore. i cannot beleive I am this man. I realize this woman is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I appreciate her so much. I was just looking for some ideas on how to make it stop.

First I'm sorry for your loss and hope that you can recognize your own opinions and thoughts right now might be crowded with some grief.  Fortunately "she" is in the right hands.  The authorities will take care of everything and find what they can and hopefully find nothing.  Think of the good times you knew of her and let those things that are beyond your control go until there are decisions in front of you to make - right now it does not seem as though there are any.

Have another serious talk with her saying "Hey I notice you havent been eating much, is everything ok??"  Don't accuse her of neccessarily having anerexia, as that woould put her on the defense...  Now you're coming across as a good concerned friend...  Maybe it has nothing to do with being aneroxic at all, maybe its a sign of depression...  Did she just recently lose someone close to her??  Or maybe a bad breakup??  Or heck maybe she just hasn't been feeling well the last few days...  See what she says...  If it's only been a few days or so since this pattern started and it's pretty sudden, it could be one of the above, just be there for her for the next few days till she slowly gains back her appetite...  IF however this has been an ongoing issue, whether or not she admits it (she'll probably be in denial even with herself) I would then say "well, you might say it's no big deal, but I am truly concerned for you..  I have noticed that all you ate today was a tic-tac and an apple, or whatever, and then tell her this is not healthy...  Mention again what you said about the running and healthy foods, which should be part of any healthy lifestlye, even if your not on a "diet", tell her you want her to help yourelf, but she's gotta do it when she's ready, and in the meanwhile if she ever needs anything to call you day or night to talk (even if it has nothing to do with food, like i said earlier there could be an underlying emotion helping cause this, the best thing you can do is just be there as a friend)...  From there back off for a few days or so, unless you see herself in an immediate life threatning situation, such as she's talking about suicide and stuff...  See if she takes your advice and starts to get help oh her own...  If she doesn't look like she's going to take responsibility for her own actions and seek help on her own, then you might have to...  Maybe go to her again and say "You know I noticed this situation hasn't getting any better (and possibly even worse) You leave me no choice but to go to the authority (whether it be a councelor, school nurse, trusted teacher) myself, that's my duty as a friend...  If you'd like we can go together to talk to them, and I'll be there every step of the way with you, but if you don't come with me, I'm still going to tell them..." She might be mad at you, but in time will thank youo....  Aneroxia is a very seriouos conditioon and needs to be adressed, don't let the possibility of having a friend mad at you, stop you..  I'd rather have a mad friend than no friend, and aneroxia is indeed fatal in the long-term...  Thing is it's one of those slow deaths where your body will just weaken to nothing, but your not going to die from starving yourself one day, many people fast for religious purposes, etc. for a 24-hour period...  Your body has enough fat and nutrients stored that you can survive, but over time, it WILL kill...  PLease talk to her today, don't procastinate...  Good luck to both of you
