Thanks a ton, that's really useful information.

Nasobema, I definitely use the default world generator a lot. I just feel like the guys with a lot of worldgen experience might have some particular ideas about how to make something cool to spend my time with. It's definitely very open ended and subjective, lol.

I'll take a look at that world for sure, Bigheaded.

I know it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, but cutting really is just a symptom. It's an outlet for emotional pain. Anyone who has that much self-hate, who feels like they deserve self-injury, has a lot of hurt going on on the inside, so much so that a little pain on the outside doesn't seem like such a big deal. I think it's important to realize the ways you can help and the ways you can't--you can absolutely be a supportive friend and someone who hears her problems, and it will help her a lot to know that someone values her. But it's likely that what really needs to happen right now, if at all possible, is for her to see a therapist. It's a hard conversation to have, but it's really no different than going to a doctor for a broken leg. Something's broken somewhere and it won't heal right unless someone who knows what they're doing can help her.
