• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Let me tell you about my friend...lets call her Amy...

Amy may seem like a normal girl, but if you get on her badside you might as well leave the room. One day she may seem like the nicest sweetest girl you know, the next day she'll be in your face telling you that if you make her mad she will tear you shreds, and that she can and will beat you up. Sometimes she's a really good friend, she's there for you when you need to cry and let it all out. Other times, if you even just touch her she will dig her nails into your skin, glare, and growl at you. Somedays she doesnt want to be noitced at all...on other days she will pretend that she is about to cut her wrist with siccors. Everyone is nice to her because either A) They feel sorry for her or B) They are afraid if they arent they will experince her anger. Now another thing that is not as important...she was going out with a guy her cared deeply about her, he treated her like a princess and loved her dearly...the whole time HE was doing this SHE was off talking about how much she loved this other guy. I felt really bad for her boyfriend so I told him, he told me he had been thinking about breaking up with her anyways because he had been noticing that to. So...my question is...how do I deal with her? She is getting medical help (I think she has ADHD and Chronic Lying Dissorder) but I want to know how I should deal with her personally...please help me if you can!

I think she is either a chronic attention seeker, or she needs serious medical help Babydoll! There seems to be a big problem there somewhere and whichever way it goes, she is more than fortunate to have you as her friend.
Her pretending to cut herself is a sign of attention seeking in itself. I think her boyfriend is wise to break up with her. And I would suggest she have help.

she does have help, she goes to counciling in germany like every monday or so...but today she was really depressed and the reason why she told me was because she pulled a knife on her little brother and scared the snot out of him. she said she feels so terrible and doesnt even know why she did it.

There's only so much you can do for her. If she is making you're situation worse... or if she's hurting you to the point where it's getting in the way of your recovery... you may have to cut her off for awhile. I know that souns horrible. And I won't say that it's not going to hurt to have to do so... But if it's getting in the way of your recovery... you have to. It's what's best, hun. Good luck sweetie. :hug:

You need to get her help from the school or her (sadly enough...and this may not be the best idea actually) her parents...but she needs help...and it seems to me...that you won't be able to be the one to do it...she needs to see a medical doctor and then a counselor of some sort too.
