Need advice for my friendship!!
My best friend and I live together. She was sexually abused as a child by a family member and has little connection to her family because of it. She hasn’t gotten help by a counselor either even after I suggested it. Im the person she vents to on a daily basis. I myself encountered a sexual assault as a teenager. We both handle things very differently. Im very calm and mello. I try my best to keep us both on track with life and stay positive. She will come home screaming at me about how bad her day was on a daily basis for hours, even as im getting ready for work in the mornings. We have the same job title. One day she thinks the best at everything and big headed and the next shes so down about herself until i talk to her calmly and try to be reasonable and lift her up..i try to be patient with her and have never gotten angery with her even for yelling at me.. i just dont know how much longer i can take it. I end up in mu room crying at times or leaving or hanging out at work because I can’t handle her stress that she takes out on me. The littles thing sets her off and im starting to think she may have developed some anger management problems and possibly bipolar depression... i know thats a lot to assume but i know it was a tragic thing for her and she just doesn’t seem to be getting better from it still as adults. How is the best way to talk to her again about considering getting some help mentally. I love her and care about her. She needs some help but i mentally cant keep being a punching bag..
