Hi all,

I have a friend, who I had met during my secondary school days. I used to see her every weekday, in school, even though we were in different classes back then. But, earlier this year, I left for my tertiary education. So I no longer see her physically. We just keep in contact via messaging.

Lately, I have been really, really, really, worried about this same friend. This friend of mine, has her own set of personal issues. And, because of all these issues, she had been pretty negative and sometimes, desperate for help... I constantly fear that something bad might happen to her or she might not be able to cope...or she might feel desperate and really need someone to talk to, but she can't find anyone...

What's worse was that she had not been replying to my texts lately. I have no clue what's going on with her and how is she currently coping. I worry about her...a lot.

How do I cope with this worry? About a few days ago, I told this to another friend of mine, and this other friend said that I shouldn't worry and think too much. The more I worry, the more likely it will happen. I do appreciate what she says, but I just can't stop worrying about this friend of mine...
