I need some strategies to deal with self harm. My best friend told me she is cutting and suicidal. I calmed her down a bit, but I need some long term solutions.
Do u know why she's suicidal and self harming
She feels worthless. She is stressed out about 6 different things, family, pets, guys, sports, school.
This is a good post to read for ideas on coping with self harm and alternatives tat might help. It's great that your friend has you there for her.

Tell someone you trust (adult) maybe one at school or somewhere. Dont ever threaten them, it just makes them want to cut more. Atleast it did for me. Just try to be supportive. Google lists of coping skills. Spend time with her.
If you can find things that will help her and that you can help her to try and see if it helps like weighting In a journal drawing using a rubber band
