I have a friend, I've posted about her before, that I used to work with. Fun girl when she's happy, a real b*tch when life goes wrong. Turns out she probably suffers from depression, she is definiatly OCD (organizes sunglasses on her coutner in order of color and size, REALLY freaks out if her clothes are out of order and reorganizes objects so they are symetrical without realizing she's doing it), and has some body image issues, as in I have known her to not eat well or take care of herself when she thinks hse's getting heavy. But she has an AMAZING body....no joke.
Anyway...she's pregnant, told me the other day. So now I am worried about her. Big time...and not just her but this baby! She is past the point of return. And my fear is that she will harm the baby by not eating well or falling into severe depression over her body image and emotions.
So, this leads up to my question..... should I try and talk to her about it? Should I butt in or keep my nose to myself? I thought of calling her and saying "Look, you and I both know you have some issues (she called me during her bried suicidal day, drove her to a counselor) and some women can experience SEVERE depression if they are allready influenced by it, I'm here if you need to talk."
Ugh, I dunno, I'm just worried she'll do something stupid like not eat, or freak out about the weight gain and hurt herself. I guess I'm venting....![]()

I don't know if your friend is like this, though.
