So... I've changed my name in case the person I'm talking about reads this. I need advice... Or just an open ear would be nice. My best friend in the whole world is... Struggling right now... She thinks she is depressed but I don't know. I realize that we are probably just young and the stress of school is getting to her, but she feels bad all of the time and I don't know how to help her. I've tried, but we always end up fighting. And when I try to avoid a fight our say I'm sorry, she doesn't listen and starts making personal attacks against me. I know she doesn't mean it, but now the stress is getting to me... It makes me sad when she is like this, but I can't help. It's almost like she just wants to stay mad. And she has even said herself that she just takes it all out on me because she doesn't have anyone else to take it out on. I've tried to help with this and told her that I'm not going to let her do that, but she isn't listening. I just... Needed to vent, i guess. If you have advice, it would be appreciated. Thank you. I care about her a lot. She is my best friend in the whole world and she is a really wonderful person! She always apologizes once she calms down... She is really important to me and i know she doesn't mean to hurt me. I just... I know her. I want to help her, but how?

Tell her to write down the bad thoughts she has or to take anger management classes.

if i was you : i will just take it all your friend madness and darkness,after all you say you are her best friend so dont lose your way .if you are stressed out too ur friend maybe will become more stressed , but if you can relieve her and can take it all maybe your friends will become better
