My friend recently fell back on cutting; she said she hadn't done it in over a year but I saw marks all over her hips last night and she admitted that she'd started back up again. She's seen our college's psychological support center in the beginning of the year but doesn't find it helpful to her. What she needs is a diagnosis, or rather, to get medication for her previously diagnosed manic-depressive disorder. For whatever reason she wasn't put on medication when she was first diagnosed with that, and her parents don't take her problems seriously enough to support her to see a proper psychiatrist when she gets home. Now she's in college with me, ten hours from home where she doesn't get help anyway, and refuses the help she is able to get here.
I'm truly worried about her, and it breaks my heart to know that she's doing this to herself. What should I do?
