Hope you will read this. I don't think she need meds, she needs support. Big support. She must feel loved and secure. She probably started to cut now because she is in puberty and her emotions are changing, she become aware of abuse. Don't know is this helping, but that is my opinion. Hope everything will be alright in the end....

White and new like a newborn. They are unique to each other; unique to you. Your own snowflakes, drifting over your skin. Some lift like gentle hills, hues of soft pink and purple. Inviting colours. These lines, like graceful dancers, mark the skin, tracing these permanent trails over your body. They are signs of your strength, badges of your courage. Scars mar you.

Regular vaginal douching changes the delicate chemical balance of the vagina and can make a woman more susceptible to infections. Douching can introduce new bacteria into the vagina which can spread up through the cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes. Researchers have f...

My younger brother asked me about it and I didn't really know what to say. He asked me if it helps with emotional pain.
