The girlie in FL is in some trouble (the one I'm crazy about... *See some previous posts*). She has some problems with depression, among other things and has decided to take medical leave and put herself in "camp" for a while and work some things out. I'm worried about her.
I know she has had an eating disorder for a while, and that it can get out of control. It scares me a lot when she gets to the point where she feels that she's losing her grip on everything. In a way, I know what she's going through.. fighting drugs and depression really fucked me up for a long time. Fortunately, she's off the drugs, or has promised me multiple times that she is (I believe her).
I feel like I can help her, and I want to, but more than that, I just want to see her help herself and get better.
I'm worried
I'm a basketcase
I don't really know what to do..
Part of me wants to give up my job here in DC and head back down south. I wouldn't be there with her, but I feel like if I'm there for her, I can do a lot good. I feel like it can't hurt at this piont..
I need some advice... so I guess I'm asking you all.. anyone have any advice, suggestions, comments, or concerns?

I'm now in Minnesota.
You really gotta make sure YOU'RE going to be happy back down south. You gotta take care of yourself before you can take care of you friend- I can't stress that enough. And she's gotta learn to take care of herself, you can't be her entire support system. It's a total drain, trust me. Support her, give her a little push in the right direction. Is she getting professional help?
Maybe you should fly down and visit that girl to check in on her before you just jump ship up here?
I could ramble on forever about this. Anyway, go see her. Do alot of thinking- it's HARD to just drop everything and move.
