I suffer from depression and anxiety and I have a great therapist and great parents, but lately things have been awful. My best friend who I have known for years recently started drinking. It started a couple months ago as just a shot of vodka on special occasions, but now she’s been bringing huge coffee mugs to school (may I add we are in 8th grade) filled with a mixture of cough syrup, vodka, gin, etc. i was fine with it at first, but it went too far. I was watching my sister self destruct in front of my eyes. Not to mention that she suffers from SEVERE depression and her parents won’t let her get the help she needs. A couple days ago we were hanging out at the local library after school with a lot of kids we knew. I told her not to bring any alcohol but she still did. She got black out drunk and started screaming and crying that the only thing keeping her from committing suicide was alcohol. This broke my heart. I tried to keep her from falling but she broke loose and she ran a couple hundred feet when a police cruiser pulled up. Apparently some younger kid called the cops and she was tested positive for high amounts of alcohol. When this was happening I had such a bad panic attack that I stopped breathing. Thank god my other friends were there to calm me down, but watching your best friend get dragged into an ambulance by police is one of the worst things you could ever watch. I cried and cried for the rest of the day. I have no way of getting in contact with her, because her parents took all here devices away. Since this happened I have been crying myself to sleep every night because I don’t even know if she’s okay. I am in so much pain right now and I don’t know what to do.
