Tao -- Even though it may be difficult to tackle this topic, I think you should try. You obviously care about her, and you can speak from experience.

Perhaps not use words such as therapy or mental health professional at first. Ask her questions about how she is, express your concern, and see what spills out. It seems to me that this gentle questioning and telling her you care, will lead to one of these responses:

1. She reassures you that she's all right and puts your fears to rest.

2. She spills out her woes, and you ask her if she'd be willing to get boldhelp. If she doesn't know where to start, offer to help her.

3. If she gets angry, it still opens the door because you can point out that her response is an overaction and perhaps she needs to talk to someone about it.

You are sweet and caring person, and I hope you'll keep us posted.
