This friend of mine, I'm getting worried about her. She's got some problems. She's been getting real messed up in drugs lately. I mean, she's been doing everything. I don't want to see her od on heroin and die.
She's been really deperessed since her best friend died nearly a year ago. She's told me that's why she does drugs, because she's all depressed. That she doesn't see a point in living if your best friends can just die out of nowhere.
I don't know what to do. I mean, I've already told her how I feel. I don't have anything against drugs, just be responsible with them. I love this girl and I wish she wasn't so damn sad all the time. I wish I could do something to make her happy, or at least feel better, but I can't. I see her maybe once or twice a month and talk with her for a little while, it doesn't seem like things are getting any better with her. Things seem to be getting worse. She used to talk about going to college and getting a degree in whatever it was she wanted to get one in, but now all she talks about is drugs. Doing drugs and selling drugs, that's all she talks about now.
I really don't know what to do. I knew her from highschool, we dated for a little bit, it's been a few years since we've been out. I don't know any of the friends she has now. She doesn't live with her parents so it's not like it would do much good to tell them about what's going on, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't appreciate that anyway. I'm not a rat you know.
Anyways, guess I'll check up on the comments you guys leave in a day.

Posted by: at January 28, 2006 5:41 AMTelling her parents does not make you a rat; indeed, NOT to tell them would. Smoking weed is one thing; crack and heroin are another. Those are the ones that will kill a person, not to mention that selling drugs will land you in jail. If someone that she sells drugs to becomes addicted or dies of an overdose, she is the one who killed them.
I believe her drug activity is her attempt to self-medicate for the depression she feels at the loss of her friend, but all she is doing is making everything worse. The biggest favor you can do for her is to tell her parents and get an intervention started. You might try getting in touch with your local chapter of Narcotics Anonymous for advice.
I am the parent of a young woman who got addicted to crack. She had a boyfriend at the time that I didn't really like, but I owe him---he's the one who told me about my daughter's addiction. She's been clean for over a year now, and we are closer now than ever, and she doesn't hold anything against the guy who told me about her drug use. Her drug use, just like your friend's, is a cry for help. Answer the call; do the right thing and talk to her parents.

Posted by: at January 28, 2006 6:50 PMI also agree with the above. You MAY lose her friendship but hopefully she will come to understand that what you did may have saved her life. If you don't get involved you likely WILL lose her friendship and in a more permanant way.
Good Luck
Posted by: at January 30, 2006 6:56 AMI've encountered this before. It is a facade that all they want to do is get fucked up. If you really want to help her, you will take charge. because allthough you might be discouraged by her attitude, she really is waiting for something or someone to intervene. Be a man tell her parents and stay by her side as much as possible. It will be terribly hard in the beginning, but you will have saved athe life of you someone you love in the bost noble of ways.
