I am concerned my best friend is going crazy. We have been friends since we were 13 (10 years) and she has in the past year started thinking she is dating Lucifer, I believe she believes it, but now she is saying that she is marrying him in some hell ceremony. She also asks me what i think of him, and thinks that I have conversations with him (he told her that not me, I say pretty non commital about it) what should I do? she is my best friend and I dont want to hurt her, but I think she might need help

I am not a teenager, so talking to school coucellors isnt an option. If we were just kids I wouldnt be so worried,

Do this,
1. Talk to her once more - Talk to her & be there for her listen on what she's saying & remember coz that would be useful later on.
2. Observe - observe what she's doing ( anything that you can see that she's doing or acting) she might do some weird stuff.
3. Call a Doctor - now if this is getting serious after you talked to her & observed her then now is the time to call a doctor ( doctor who's concerned about mental illness) let them check & inform you about it.
This would be good for her . this is for her own good also. dont worry everthing will be fine if they checked her.

Is she your only friend that she has? If so, sounds to me like she is creating an imaginary friend to help her fill the void that she is in. Is she an extrovert? Introvert? It helps to talk to her about it and why she behaves the way she does....there might be some other deep seated problem from her family system. She may have had a sibling who died and so this imaginary person is replacing it. Is she into occult and stuff like that? That could be another reason that she talks about Lucifer...her boyfriend....If she is dating him.....bring it out of her by arranging a double date with you and your boyfriend...see where it leads to.....She seriously needs to talk to someone....counselor, you, priest etc.....

are you sure shes not in any cult or hanging out with strange people when your not around.or doing any hard core drugs.
friendship is a special bond that doubles for long term friends so many memories, but if you get to were you feel threaten by her or her actions i would distance my self from her maybe not cut her off altogether but when she starts talking like that say you know i gotta go do something i forgot.
if you feel she could hurt her self or others i would for her sake talk to some one and get her help becouse you would never forgive your self if she harmed her self. i sure she is talking to others the same way maybe talk to her parents or sister say man ? has been talk so stuff.
when she ask you questions like that i would tell her the truth maybe shell get the hint and stop putting you thru such pain

This sounds very disturbing. If you know her family maybe you could approach them with your concern. I'm not sure there;s a lot you can do in this situation other than tell your friend you are worried about her and try to get her to counseling. I wish I had more suggestions for you.

What can you do? You can't control other people's feelings or actions and you're not responsible for them either.
If you really are her best friend, just stick by her. Be there when she falls and give her your advice, if she's willing to take it. Don't abandon her though. You might totally disagree with her or think she's nuts but it doesn't matter, she's your best friend. Love her for what she is and be willing to help her. Just don't try to run her life.

Have you spoken to her family members about this? Perhaps in a concerted effort you all can seek out counsel on this and if necessary have an intervention.
Until you know exactly what she means by what she is saying, it may be a good idea to stay close to her. She may have gotten herself involved in some kind of devil cult.

Talk to your guidance counsellor at school and also your mother. You may be right. She is either pulling your leg or having some mental issues. Unfortunately, mental illness can't be helped by good friends. It really needs a trained medical professional. Good luck.

Sounds abit like schitzophrenia. I have schitzophrenia, and I was the same (talking to ppl who arent there), and since being on meds and seeing a psychotherapist it helps. Talk to people who are close to her. Or even arrange a group of people who are also worried about her, to try n get her some help

tell her to eat a icecream- if she likes them and then tell her that You know how she feels. You do because you know that she feels like she is really going on a date. Tell her the things you have been through when she was crazy. I hope you understand.
PS: If she can't calm down then I don't think you can do ant thing
