Hello.

I'm currently dealing with a friend and her boyfriend. The story goes that my friend went into the psych hospital for a while, then when she came back her boyfriend wanted to go, but was rejected. (they don't have any insurance and were going through the same place to get placement) After a while, they accepted him into a day program which he has been attending for a couple weeks. Now, my friend wants to go into the day program as well. I feel like she doesn't know what to do with herself while her boyfriend is away all day, and is letting his mood affect hers A LOT. She was rejected from the day program, and was horribly upset.

I think it's because her and her boyfriend are too affected by eachother. They are in a very serious relationship and I am worried that it'll get worse.

They aren't attached at the hip, but when one is having a horrible time the other is as well. If my husband were upset, I would be sad that he is upset, but I wouldn't generally be in a bad mood and thought process because of it.

Anyone have any advice? My friend and her boyfriend are very bad off mentally right now, and my friend is mad at everything and isn't really talking to me. I want to tell her what I think about it, but she's not going to like it. But she needs to know. Help?
