I'm worried about my friend. I think she may need professional help. I asked her if she wanted to see the new 'Halloween' movie with me and she said she didn't want to because seeing movies like that gives her "strange thoughts". I couldn't go trick or treating this year and asked her did she want to go to a haunted maze. She said she didn't want to because being in that type of enviorment gave her "strange thoughts". I asked her what kind of thoughts she was talking about, but both times she couldn't tell me because her parents were in the room. Why would you be afraid of thoughts unless you thought they might turn into actions? Do you think I'm overreacting? What do you think I should do? Another thing is, she would say "I envy you" frequently. I remember one time I had just gotten my hair done and she said something like "It's so shiny, it looks soft. I envy you." She's the 'good girl' type but I can't help feeling like there's a side to her no one else knows. What do you think?

She claims she has"violent, strange thoughts". This doesn't seem normal to me at all. So far, I've been acting very....blank. I listen to what she has to say as if we're talking about what we had for brakefast. I kind of act like it's normal. I've said "Why do you think you have those thoughts?" and she says "I don't know." I really do think there might be something wrong. What should I do next?

Keep being her friend.
Keep her talking.
If she's such a 'good girl`, she might be
holding in a lot of stuff that needs to come
out, and if she talks it out with a friend who
she fells safe with, it blows off the pressure.
If you think there's a real possibility of violence,
you do need to tell someone.
It's not a betrayal. It's being a good friend.

just keep being her friend. keep things neutral and normal. don't turn this into another 'exorcism of emily rose'. what i mean is, if you dig deeper into these things, the more real they become, for you, AND your friend. when pple tell someone they have 'issues', that only increases them, making that person thinks they DO have 'issues', and if they actually do, then it seems like they are way more delirious and crazy than they really are. just keep being her friend, but keep careful watch on her, and be aware of everything (she says, does, etc.). it kinda sounds like one of those movies where a person's supposedly, crazy, but no one believes them, and some do, and tell em they're crazy, and do mad crazy stuff to try to get them 'un-crazy'. ((gothica, sybil, etc...creepy movies..)) if you care about ur friend, try to be around her as much as you can, and watch her, but still keep things normal. and hope to god that it's just a 'phase'. cuz if it isn't, i have no idea what you should do. i would like to see how this turns out, so if you want, sometime, could u email me and update me on this situation? god, good luck to you and your friend.
