Cannot focus on work. Attention there!

Dear human, thank your for sharing and reaching out. It seems like you've come here to seek help for your friend, which is a great thing to do. I appreciate you for being supportive of her and being there for her. I completely understand her situation but if the relationship is affecting her career or any other aspect of her life, either they need to end it mutually or they need to resolve the issues by reaching a common/mutual ground. Communication is the key factor in interpersonal relationships and thus they need to talk openly about where this relationship is headed rather than just assuming it. If she thinks that she is responsible for the guy's well-being, remind her that she is only responsible for her well-being and that nothing is worth one's peace of mind and sanity. She can either opt for a couple's counselor if they've mutually decided to resolve the issues or she can seek individual therapy to regain her mental stability and manage this situation in a more efficient way.

Please book an appointment with me via practo, as we go about identifying and understanding your friend's thought patterns and how it could be modified. Hope this helps :)

Some self-care techniques: 1. Practice journalling - Start writing down your thoughts exactly as is, this will help you to reflect on what you really want from this relationships and also it can be an effective medium to vent out. 2. Try to do any activity that you love the most, it can be interests and hobbies like reading a book, watching a movie, painting, cooking, etc. 3. Exercise daily or in any kind of physical movement like jogging, taking a walk, yoga, dancing, playing a sport, etc. 4. Practise mindfulness - You can start on this by doing small techniques like observing objects/environment around and feeling it or 4-7-8 breathing technique where you inhale for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 7 seconds and exhale for 8 seconds.

Since the query is written in third person I am assuming that you are expressing the issues that someone close to you is facing. I really appreciate that you reached out about the situation. From what you have mentioned she seems to be going through a lot in her personal life. It would help if she reached out to someone to talk about it. Since she feels stuck and cannot concentrate on her career aspirations due to the relationship issues she is facing, exploring her thoughts and feeling about the relationships might be helpful for her. Talking to a psychologist may help her  to explore her feelings and how she could cope with what she is experiencing now.

I appreciate your concern to support your friend.. Please suggest her to seek a professional support to overcome this issue in her current life.
