I would advise your friend to go and see her doctor or if she can't go out ask for a house visit sometimes it is good to speak to someone else. There could be an underlying problem which may be easy to solve.

She's been like she is four years now though surely it must be anxiety because if she does go out like she thinks about going dizzy and hot in shops so that stops her she's been through 2 pregnancys in 3 year but she wouldn't get bloods done etc. Just urine with was all fine but surely if she did have a health problem dealing through a pregnancy would of harmed her and baby she did have ultrasound scan as well which detected everything was fine inside her stomach. Also she suffers from blocked ears but she will not be told she won't go to see gp and I feel for her. I say it's anxiety because she's always on edge she can't sit and talj she's very fidgety and she go's all hot if she talks to ya. She rocks to herself sometimes to

Hello

It can be very hard if we are suffering with anxiety and we have a close friend that is suffering to , sometimes it can put extra pressure on us but totally understand why you feel you would like to help her and are concerned but they have to feel they are suffering with anxiety and ask for help and when they do you can point them in the right direction like maybe this site ?

Maybe ask them to come on and have a look and see if they can relate to some of the posts it maybe just the thing they need to read to accept they do

You can only advise even friends and at times what you feel or observe and once you have sometimes we have to take a step back and just make sure they know we are here if they need or want us , I hope they get the help and support they need and meantime take good care of yourself x
