I am sorry to hear about the predicament this has left you in. I would not worry too much about the mental state of your friend, as she is clearly willing to accept the necessary help. I imagine the most you can do for her, is exactly what you will do. And if she needs anything, she'll call. I have had a few friends who self harm themselves, and in my opinion, the best way to help out, is to take their mind off the things bringing them down. A night away from the stresses can do wonders, but it also puts youre mind at rest seeing where she is, and that she is ok. The less worrying you do, the vibes should rub off. and your friend should see that not all is bad, and that the therapy is the way forward, not giving up. i sincerely hope you dont feel to nervous/responsible about your actions, because the lasthing thing i believe she would want is for her situation to also affect a friendship. be as you always have been with her, and the therapists will do the rest
