[quote=Anonymous]You need to have a conversation with her, obviously.  It's not going to go over well, she's going to be furious you found it and she's probably going to put walls up when you discuss it with her.  Here are the important things for you to keep in mind

1.  Don't get mad, try to keep your voice as even as possible

2.  Don't accuse or assume.  Don't tell her it isn't healthy.  Don't tell her that she's lying by saying everything is fine.  Just listen and express your concerns

3.  Ask her why these interest her.  Ask if her if there is something about them she finds interesting?  Does it help her escape?  Where did it stem from?

I enjoy messed up books.  I've read many a books and stories that come with a warning beforehand due to their graphic nature.  I find that I consume them more when my anxiety is flaring or when I feel a bit flat and detached (not full blown depression).  It just helps me escape a bit and the brutal part of the stuff I read is kind of a cathartic way of getting some of my darker emotions settled. Her writing these things may be a way for her to get some darker feelings out.  Which is worthy of a discussion obviously.

I don't know, I guess my suggestion is to come at it more from a curious standpoint than an overly concerned and freaked out standpoint.  She's going to be embarrassed and mad, so you really don't want her to put walls up.  [/quote]
