pls guys i need help

I would first try to express my concerns to your friend, do they realize they're behaving that way? Is the "unwell" feeling physical, mental, both? You need to know the what and why and they need to seek help from someone capable of providing it.

If things get out of hand, such as their condition worsens, they start behaving as if they're "better" too quickly, start speaking in any way that gives you any feeling of concern, if the amount of time between seeing them starts increasing... you'll have to contact your friend's guardian, school counselor, whoever. I know that's the last thing anyone wants to do to their friend but if their behavior and condition is so bad that you're this worried, someone needs to check up on them and get them help.

thank you so much for your answer. The thing is they have family issues and like i said before school is clearly not a safeplace for them. But you're right I'm gonna try to talk to them but i don't really know what i should begin with. They tell me everything's fine but it clearly isn't. Just a few hours ago, we were in the corridor with my other friend when she came to say hi. My friend said as a joke "oh you're alive?" because it's been a long time since she last saw her, then i told her it wasn't appropriate to say and she said she was sorry. Then the friend I'm worried about burst into tears and said she was stressed asf about school and her grades. That's what made me worry A LOT

If neither home or school is a safe place for them, then I would see if there was any possible resources in your area (please do not trust ANY website with any form of personal information!).
The best thing that you personally can do is support your friend as best you can. Try to work with them to find things that can help with the stress, like a hobby, different relaxation practices, talk together. If your friend isn't communicating well, it may be good to remind them that you're a safe space and that they need someone to talk to about this, whether it's you, someone else they trust, or a professional.
Take some time to breathe when the stress starts stacking, drink some water, eat if and when you can... If and when things ever get emotional at any point, please be patient with them AND yourself.


I also want to remind you to care about YOUR health as well. Helping and caring for a friend is very important when they're struggling, but it absolutely can weigh on you too, especially with the stress this is causing you. Take some time for yourself to breathe and think about it, whatever you feel is okay, too. Both of you are human, and it's okay for you both to be effected by this.

Again, if they start acting "better", "normal", or in a way that doesn't feel right for ANY reason, I would talk to them and get help if it's necessary.

I had depression for a long time and usually depressive people are tend to believe no one loves them/cares them and think everything will be bad in those kind of periods. i still struggle with that thoughts but we can't know future beforehand and those thoughts are only part of brain's survival mechanism. i think being beside them and reaching out will help lot. Everyone is different but they should take baby steps and be consistent with small activities. This is a mental disease, they shouldn't be too hard to themself. Not eating is not good for them at all. I know they are feeling stressed but not eating caused me stomatch problems like acid reflux/struggling with digestion and other health problems. They should take help as soon as possible. Because procrastinate doesn't change anything.

There's not a lot you can do till your friend can leave their home or find a place where they spend time in safety. But you can always try to motivate them and comfort them, just giving them company via calls, texts and small doable plans like going to a park together. These things definitely pass, slowly and painfully but once they are over you remember the people who stuck by your side even years later. And please tell them that when someone is trying their best to survive day to day they can't keep on top of school and grades. And yes grades do affect future but don't let temporary situations create permanent stress. Once people graduate school, the stress becomes about a completely different situation like college or jobs but each time you get better at handling it.
