Should I be worried about my friend? She seems very down all the time

Question - (15 April 2012) 5 Answers - (Newest, 16 May 2012)
A male Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi. I'm not asking about a romantic thing. It's more of a concern for a friend, however.

I'm a little worried, about this one girl. She's very dear to me. Thing is, she's very down. I think she had lost a friend a year ago. (He just didn't wish to be her friend - claims she did this very wrong-ish thing to him.). Not really sure what's happened.

Anyways, only last week, I saw her in public. She was too far for me to greet her. I don't think she saw me. Anyways, she seemed to be sad, as usual. It's been like this for the last 6 months I've seen her.

I heard her scream "Why is life so damn hard?" . I couldn't stand the sight of what was happening to her, any more. I just quietly blended into the crowd and pretended to go to the grocery store to pick up a few items.

Is this cause for concern? I hope it isn't too serious. She's my girlfriend's best friend, too. My girlfriend says this girl's the closest thing she has to a sister.

Thanks, in advance.

-Harold.

She's gettin' worse! Please, help us out!

She made a scene, yesterday! She nearly convinced someone to call a suicide helpline! We stopped the caller from doing it, though, and convinced him that it was just an act, that she's a very convincing actress.

I know we should talk to her. However, she is unwilling to. What do these outbursts mean? Again. Please, help us out!

Sounds like she's very affected by the loss of her friendship.

However, is it a red flag, that she might be somewhat traumatized?

She's still a wreck. Just saw her 5 minutes ago, at the same mall.

But, it's been a year. Shouldn't she be over this loss?

And, what did she mean, when she screamed out that really loud outburst? I swear, you could hear it from the other side of the building - like as if she had a loudspeaker with her, or something.

Could it be related to the loss of her friendship with the guy who rejected her? Or, something else?

Well, yeah. Of course. I'd be worried too if my friend was looking down all the time like that. You should try talking to her, but if she doesn't want to talk about it don't take it personal and don't force her because it'll make thing's worse

Some people just like to be to themselves when bad things are going on in their lives.

Good luck, I hope things get better for her.
