I want to know how I can help my girlfriend shot up nobody ever showed her the proper way to do it now all her veins are shot and she will set and poke and poke

Greetings Liljay77. There are good manuals out there (HRC's Getting Off Right is a good basic one) about harm reduction and safer injection practices.

Has someone been helping her to inject, or did she just run out of usable veins she could easily register in?

I'm going to move this to our Other Drugs forum, as that's the most fitting context to have this discussion. Welcome to BL!

NMI -> OD

Here's a guide to IV use or Hillary Rodham Clinton's- Getting Off Right or wait, that's actually Harm Reduction Coalition - Getting Off Right, slight difference, Sry. But one who is already adept makes the best teacher.

Thanks for the clarification

Try to convince her that it's not worth it (more risks - higher tolerance).
If she still wants to do it, you could show her this harm reduction video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Miv8i-slK2w

Dutch, she's already been doing it man, hence why her veins are shot.
