Best advice for you ferret: fucked up friends are always gonna be fucked up friends so either accept them for that or fuck off basically.

I retract my previous statement. I completely agree.

If she is behaving like that, it is likely that there is something going on in her life that is distressing her (either currently or from the past). It is, in a way, "attention seeking" or a "cry for help" but she may not be doing that consciously.

Whatever the case, it doesn't sound like something that you are just going to be able to "fix" by a bit of a talk or the like. It is likely to be a long ride...

Sounds to me like their life is fucked, and yours could just as well be better off not letting them drag it through the shit their stupidity has got 'em sunk into.

Thanks for the advice everyone, it honestly has helped. I still haven't spoken to her yet but I think I do have to try and help her through it all again. After all, she was a great friend and I know that she did have a bit of a sad childhood. (Her dad fucked off before she was born then came back when she was 5). The hardest part will be trying to get passed the pretty rough phone conversation we had.

Hope it all works out for ya.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time sweetie.
But cheer up, it always gets better just before everything gets fucked up again.
