Worried about my friend...

[johnaintdoe]

I don't really know where to put this thread, but it'll be great if someone moved it...

 

Anyways, what do you do when you friend tells you they they think they are a failure? I personally don't know my friend too well but I can say that my friend is excelling academically. My friend is quite young so I can't think of much you could do (legally) that you can't turn around. My friend told me that this week that he/she found out that her friends were on drugs. Came as a big shock to my friend.

I think I might be just worrying too much but this never happened to me before...

 

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sounds like your friend could be depressed. Is she suicidal? Maybe she has too high of standards and feels like she's not living up to those academically, relationship-wise. Maybe she lacks self-confidence...Maybe try to talk to your friend to figure out why she thinks she's a failure and suggest therapy? Sorry, that's my solution a great deal of the time. That's what I do.
