Yes, I have given her some space. I noticed small cuts on her upper arms and I'm wondering if thats just the beginning. I'm worried about the bigger picture; Self Delete.
I've been keeping tabs on her with her mom. All I can do is hope.
speaking from experience- I guess it’s a bit different from my point of view but it’s unlikely that she’s going to actually try, and even if she does try normally everybody who does try goes for some silly stuff that won’t actually kill them. just talk to her continually, and give her space. whenever she needs space it’s probably that she doesn’t want to talk and needs to go chill for a bit. she’ll be alright. unless the cutting gets bad (usually after the first one or two cuts people realize how forgeted it is and stop), you probably shouldn’t ask her because then she’ll hide it from you. common place for cutting is arms/thighs so i’d be watching in those places (and if it’s thighs and she’s wearing jeans, it’ll be hella painful to stand up/sit down)
you have to acknowledge the cutting op. my best friend started cutting and she told me instead of noticing myself. cutting is a way to ignore other pain, like the death of your father. explain you concerns and make sure she seeks help.
while true there’s no reason for immediate concerns with small cuts unless they start to become giant and span entire arm lengths. letting the person know that you see their cuts is either a good way to get them to open up further about it and make you feel horrible or have them hide it from you entirely. it depends.
