    go to a counselor at school and share your feelings about this issue with her

    you can't help her

    but you can try to let adults know about it

    peace

    I am single mum. I have been suffering for panic attacks for some 15 years now, though it was not until recently I understood what they were. They were progressively getting stronger and more frequent, stopping me from some days even leaving my house. I read this book and it all made perfect sense.

    I am not saying I was not terrified of putting theory to action, I was more scared of that than the next attack! But I decided to view it as a game, one I had control of and could therefore not lose!

    No do it face to face. Maybe one on one(whoever is closest to her). And be as kind and understanding to her, she obviously is having problems so she may feel attacked so be gentle! Make sure you let her know you have her best interest in mind and that you love her and want to help her get over her anxiety!

    the only comfort she can use is you still being her friend no matter what real friends will stick by you through thick and thin.and she will open up to you when she is ready until then pray for her.

    Tell them to take a chill pill. This carries on much longer in life, it could cost them their life.

    Maybe do it via text or online, face to face can be very daunting for some people.

    message her. Take her out for lunch and ask her problem

  • 10 years ago

    just ignore her

    if she cant be bothered to sort it out herself, why should you do it for her?
