Anyone got a preliminary diagnosis? Any treatment suggestions?
1) Increased procrastination and a reluctance to go out and be as "active" as they were previously
2) Increasing "edgyness" Get upset more easily over things and growing feeling sof frustration.
3) Sleeping longer into the day and staying up later for no apparant reason.
4) Bleaker outlook or expectations than is usually known for.
Any help appreciated guys.

It sounds to me like you're suffering from clinical depression.
See your doctor for medication and/or counselling, but there are also things you can do for yourself: take Omega 3 supplements, exercise more, eat healthily, spend time with your friends, spend time outdoors.

At first glance, I thought she is bulimic. Poor diet, poor nutrition, just not getting enough sodium and electrolytes, she could show all these symptoms. It could be nothing more than a sodium imbalance. I'm wondering why she should suddenly start showing these symptoms now. If she is abusing drugs that would create this sudden imbalance. Have you noticed, or are you close enough to her, that you can see how much she's eating? Is she eating less than usual? Anorexia or bulimia could mean she's not eating enough or eating too much and then purging it. A lack of nutrition could make for this kind of acute anxiety. Why can't you just sit her down and ask her yourself? Invite her over for dinner, offer to make something she really likes and once you've got her attention make your pitch. Talk in a nice, calm and even voice. I'm sure too much anger would scare her away. Let her know your here and you'd be glad to help any way you can. Too much drama seems like that too would upset her delicate balance and you've lost your big opportunity. You need to get past the mystery and find some answers. You could be doing her a big favor. She sounds too weak and too anemic to think ahead or to put up too much of a fight. You're looking for info, not punishment. Remember to tell her you won't tell anyone, and be prepared to refer her to a counselor or hotline. Know when it's too much for you to handle and know when to quit. She might be thrilled to know you care enough to do anything. She sounds isolated and alone. I'm worried about her and I don't even know her. I wish you had provided more information. I hope this helps you.

I'd agree with the previous answers you've gotten, and think some of them right on, especially the response from laurarar, those are some EXCELLENT suggestions. I certainly relate to your feelings, bro, you just have to take that first step yourself, and you may need feel like it or want to procrastinate, BUT ya gotta do it! for yourself, and IT WILL be better, and so will you! ;)
