Maybe you can help me, or, better, my friend.
First of all, as the usual please forgive my bad English.
My friend, a young woman 25 years old, is always sad. She often is in a bad and melancholy mood, she thinks nobody likes or loves her, but this isn’t true, because she has a lot of friends and she’s beautiful: men always court her. I admit she has a strange character: she’s too “possessive” with friends, so sometimes people have enough of her phone calls, messages, emails… and abandon her. But who really loves her, like me!, never abandons her just because she too always phones!
Anyway, here’s because I’m worried: she says she’s “sick”. She tells me when she’s alone she very often goes into hysterics. She’s loosing a lot of weight, and she says this is because of her “issues”.
I often told her she must see a doctor, and/or she must talk to her parents. But she answers she doesn’t want to, because her parents wouldn’t understand her and because she wants get well on her own.
“Obviously” she isn’t doing anything to recover herself from her illness.
She just often tells me she’s sad, she feels alone, she has issues… If I try to “comfort” her (maybe remembering her that she has a lot of friends, etc), it seems she gets angry. It seems she wants “ranting” with me but she doesn’t want I comfort her. Obviously if I try to suggest her to see a doctor she gets angry!
It seems she likes, or she WANTS, to be “sick”, and it seems she wants to be SURE her friends know she is sick.
So I admit I’m starting having enough too about her ranting…
So, do you think she’s really sick (hysteric, bipolar, schizophrenic...)? Or is she just searching for attentions?
What do you think I have to do, if I want to help her?
