Hey It’s good you reached out and shared your concerns. I see that u r concerned about your friends abnormal behaviour or rather her threats of harming herself. How does this make u feel ? scared ? Guilty ? Confused ? I would like to u how u feel. You clearly are not happy with her like of thinking and I can understand that. It’s important you express your thoughts and feelings to her. What kind of relationship are u two into ? Is it just friendly or more ? She seems to be possessive about you. I can tell u this .. no matter what she does with her life... u are not responsible for it. She would be making a choice for herself. She is thinking irrationally and as a friend you can warm her and help her realise that. That’s all there is in your hands.

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them. Today, the mind is obsessed with somebody else. Tomorrow, it might be an entirely different person/event/topic. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having thoughts about one being worthless and hopeless about life in general is also something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is again part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" ) Ask yourself : Where would I like to see myself ten years from now? What should I do today to reach there ten years from now? What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail? What would I do if I weren't afraid? No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can and will make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow. A beautiful future awaits you. Take ownership of every time, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy. Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. You are going to do just fine. Take care.

Hello thanks for approaching us for a help, I appreciate your concern towards your friend. It could be she is disturbed and distress of some problem, she might be feeling insecure, negative and some experience which is making her to behave in this manner.. her state of mind is not sounding positive, she could be habituated with this way of thought process, but if she is telling anything about self harm or ruin herself, it is better at the earliest seek for professional help. Take the help of her family. Sometimes for grabbing attention/ emotions they would behave in this manner. I understand your concern, nothing comes with trust of a person , she is in negative state of mind, give sometime to heal. Take care.
Next Steps
try to visit psychologist or psychiatrist for guidance and well being..
Health Tips
expose to positive side that she likes, let she spend her time with family. let her build some hobbies or new work.. take care.
