my best friend just got the one of the lead roles in our musical production for next year, and i am trying really really hard to be happy for her, but all i ever am is jealous. i becme jealous of her singing talent (and of almost everything else about her, because shes almost perfect), and that makes me cry because i wish i was like her, but then i get even more upset because i know im being a horrible friend, and im so confused because i want to be happy but i cant seem to stop the jealousy from overpowering it...also, i think i might b a bit depressed, because i know i have a good life, but i always cry and get upset over nothing for no reason, and i dont know what to do, its making it really hard. i really need some help from anyone...

You need to stop trying to be like your friend. believe me when i say she is far from perfect. stop focusing on her and take a good look at your self and you will see you are just as great as your friend i think your are depressed a little we all get depressed but start trying to do the things that your good at and enjoy your self vol enter at a children's hospital or a day care center and you will see how good it feels to help someone Else trust me your are one of a kind because God loves you and he made you beautiful

You said she was your best friend. You know my best friend is a perfect too and has all the good qualities that I have always wanted to have. The jealousy provokes guilt and make the situation worse than it is. I rather prefer to talk to her and tell her that I am so jealous of all the good things she has. I tell her that I feel guilty of being jealous of her instead of just being happy for her and be proud that my friend has made it. Somehow telling it to her makes me feel less guilty and less jealous too. Try it.
