Hello dear
I can understand what your friend might be going through. There might be many reasons behind it. We all go through transformation or face life changing events in our life which leads us to ask these questions. Identity crisis or some unfavourable past event can also be the reason. There might be other reasons too.
Don't worry, ask her or take her to consult a good therapist or a psychologist as soon as possible.
You can also ask her to contact me and I will help her towards her recovery. Let me discuss her issues with her in detail so that she can get towards her solutions.
Take care of yourself and her. Stay safe and strong. Everything will be alright. You got this!!
