Make her learn her lesson, friends are for life and they wouldn't lie to you so she should've listened to you. If you go back she is going to run to you everytime something goes wrong and when a new guy comes into the scene bye,bye to you. You are just setting yourself up to get hurt and seriously used.

Tell your friend she deserves to be happy and she will probably need a therapist to help her through this.

Yes and no.  If you want to be a good friend you should find out what is going on and find a way to help him.

You most definitely did the right thing. After she gets help and cleans up she will eventually realize that you were looking out for her. I have been in a similar situation only I was in the position that your friend is in. I was furious at the friend that ratted me out and I reacted the same way. After I cleaned up my act and got counseling, I realized my life would have been ruined if it weren't for the one person that truly cared enough to tell someone so I could get help. Give her time and space and when she calls (and she will) just offer your friendship again and give her all of the love and support you can. Good luck!

Probably best if you message me on this one. Your friend has some possible options depending on the circumstances.

I would continue to be her friend. Realize that she is not going to be able to put as much as you put into the relationship, due to her current mental state. You now know that that because of her condition that you won't be able to believe what she says. Keep the relationship fun and light. That way you won't get caught up in the emotional drama.

I think you did the right thing to help - I would try and help as much as poss. I hope someone would help me if I needed them (not that I would be in such a state) but there are all sorts of other reasons you might need help from strangers - maybe you feel ill or something.  I don't think people help too much because they are scared of getting involved or implicated in something they are not part of.

Just be there for them, hon, just be there for them. That is all you can do as a friend. Listen to them, if that is all you do, if that is all they need than do it.

Yes you should. Also, if your afraid by telling that you will lose his friendship, and just don't want to, then consider talking to you counselor and explaining the situation. They are trained to handle situations like this.

You can not help her. She has got to help herself. I have been down that road before. Believe me it is difficult. Sometimes we want to save someone it makes us feel good. But trust me the lies are just starting. Get out before you get hurt to bad.

No. We are a country b/c we help when one part of us needs help. You wouldn't leave your best friend hanging, would you? Well, why should we leave part of our country left to fend for themselves. I'm sure you would want us to do the same for you.

This friend of yours is not a good person. She is definitely simply leeching out favours from others. Just leave her, don't talk to her. She'll definitely come back for more assurance. I think she needs some counseling.

The only way she can be helped is if she wants to be....I don't think it matters what you do or say she's the one that wants to be helped..i think it's OK to talk to her and tell her how you feel about this and let her know that when she's ready for help you'll be there...at that point you can find her a group to go to or a hospital to go to...till then just be a friend.

With compassion.  Your friend probably needs you more now than ever before.  It will be difficult, as it is with anyone you know is dying, but just being a friend is the best thing you can do.
