Stress & Demotivation
My friend has been suffering from severe stress, anger & depression due to unemployment, increased weight, hypothyroidism and to add to that now she is suffering from ringworm. Since past 3 years shes been tackling lot of stuff. Due to medicines , she has bloating and even acidity.
Even after following diet & consulting so many doctors , her immunity isnt strong enough. All this has led to her being depressed, demotivated and isolated from people. At times she says she feels she is ugly and she dont feel like meeting or talking to anybody.
She was a scholar during college times and was good enough untill her breakup and also rift from her friend. Her health is gone bad. She cries and also blames herself for her condition. Her parents support her but dont recommend taking her to a psychiatrist due to taboo that talking to psychiatrist means her daughter is mad.
I as a friend wanted to help her so can you suggest me how to help my friend?

Convince your friend to visit a psychologist . That's her major requirement . Also advice her to start homeopathy for her ailments . There are online psychologists available , she can make a call and discuss to start with . On call sessions also take place . Try that. She needs professional help for sure

try eating several small meals instead of three large ones whenever she can...Avoid foods that irritate your stomach, especially those that are spicy, acidic, fried or fatty... avoid coffee,tea etc... Avoid stress,consider calming activities, such as meditation, yoga etc...sleep with head raised position and have dinner at least 2 hours before sleep..do regular exercises...take pantaprazole 40 mg twice daily before food with above....Consult nearest psychiatrist as she require detailed counseling session and she may require medications to solve her problems as many things can't be discussed in forum like this...With that fallow relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation,avoid alcohol, smoking, coffee, tea...have good sleep and develop healthy food habits..good luck

Very good friend. Please take her first to a counsellor or a Psychologist and ask her to share to them.
The parents need not know that she is visiting a Psychlogist
