This has come up in my life recently. A long time friend has had some serious changes in appearance. She's put on probably 50lbs, she hasn't had a haircut in over a year and it's straggly and often unwashed. In general she isn't showing the same care with her appearance that she did before. The problem that I'm faced with is that she's the kind of person that never admits when something is wrong. She has always tried to maintain the appearance that everything is just fine. Everything is great, her family has no problems, and defensive about the possibility of depression/anxiety. She has distanced herself from me and I'm unsure of how to approach her. I'm concerned but don't know what to do. Maybe Magen is the same way? Always pretending?
My own experience and MOO.
