• 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.

One of my best friends was so nice and fun to hang out with l loved to hang out with her. We used to go to go youth group and she got these Jesus braclets and totally loved God. Then she got a boyfriend dated him for two years and she used to always get mad at her boyfriend for doing drugs. And smoking and drinking all the time when she found out he was doing it she was crying. And the guy she was really mean. And was mean and had sex with a lot of girls when he was dating my friend. And then she lost her virginty with them she loved him so much. I told her he was cheating she got mad when l told her she had a real anger problem and really being mean to me when she was dating him. And then she started getting in to drugs and l was so upset with her. And she told me she would never do drugs and then her boyfriend was swearing at her one day and saying rude stuff to her she couldn't take it anymore so she broke up with him. And after he said he was sorry to her and tried to get her back about a month later she moved to another part of Canada. l was happy because the guy will never come near her again and l would have my best friend back. Boy was l ever wrong she started doing more drugs and having sex with a bunch of guys and l'm really upset with her. All she talks to me about on msn is how she gets high and stuff l don't want to know. And it hurts me she never listens to me when l try to tell her how l feel she says oh mebby stop bugging me. And then she yells at me sometimes she isn't the same person at all she is always swearing at me now and hurting me l want my best friend back please help me!

This is really stressing you out honey isn't it. And, it's a very sad, sad case. Drugs are a curse today. And no matter howe hard they try to bust the rings, another ring of dealers start up destroying peoples lives.
My Darling, your friend is so blessed to have you. It's the drugs that make her not appreciate what you could have together. Not her, but the drugs.
You are so kind and loving to try to support her and to come here to ask for help. But, I do feel your friend needs councelling. Have you suggested that to her?

You are in my prayers, both you and your friend.
The anger in her is caused by what she's experienced in life at such a young age. And, the life she is leading now is what she thinks is fun. It is the drugs that make her yell at you. Drugs change the brain actions. They cause disfunction mentally.
This is why she needs help by a councellor. But, she must be willing to go to one herself. You cannot make her.
Talk to her on msn gently. When she yells at you, don't get upset. Just chat to her calmly to settle her down.
I have a brother on marihuana. He too yells and carries on at times. There is nothing you can do but talk gently and remember, those on drugs do not mean what they say.
Under normal circumstances, they would be shocked by their behaviour. But, they just don't know what they are doing. Please be patient with her.
How old is she honey?
Above everything else...pray for her. Lay this whole problem at the Throne of God and just talk to Him and tell Him everything. How you feel, just tell Him everything.

I am praying for you.:hug:

I don't know anything about her so I can't say too much.
Pray. Pray lots. It's the best you can do.
Sometimes...we just freak out for a while. Sometimes there are underlying reasons for engaging in this behavior, such as past issues.

For now, don't stop loving her no matter what. Even if she seems bent at rejecting that love.

Just keep listening to her...don't tell her as much how you feel as much as listen to how she feels...she is in a really low spot in her life and needs someone who just cares for her...deep down she knows that the drugs aren't right and that the people she's hanging with up there aren't doing her any good...but keep being supportive...whenever you can, let her know in small ways that you love her no matter what, the drugs won't help her, and that you will always be there for her.

dear Mebby,
It might help you to know where she is at presently? She is hurting deeply,and her emotional pain is her biggest concern now? Caused by her ex-boyfriend, she will have no peace for this time in her life,for the drugs are using her.How long is up to her? God allows us to go through trials and tribulations in our lifetimes in order for us to really see our need for His love.The drugs ,and the sex with others is but another facet of her walk with Him,and He may very well be teaching her how to eventually make "good" choices for the future. Pray for her,now,for this is all that you will find able to do for her during this time.Believe it or not, her God is in control in her life,you can best show your love for her, in your prayers for her. In His love, lampwicke
