[quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP, I am the poster who mentioned about my ex-gf above. She is 43 and I haven't talked to her for a while. She has some other medical issues as well such as Type2, PCOS, thyroid and was on anti-depressants on top of everything else. Weight gain was other issue for her. With time, she has gone really bad and would flip out or scold me for something small so I thought about removing myself from the situation and ended it. The only thing that would work for her is sleeping and no work or expectations which is unreal since she did have to work as a nurse and was under some debt. Issues related with peri continued to get bad and her having Hashimoto (low thyroid) contributed for her behavior, sex drive and ability to see things more realistically. what you can do for your friend is spend some girls time with her, may be go to massage, pedicure, or some mild drinking/eating out if she is ok with it and may be tell her to go on HRT or get some therapy in more casual way. Make sure to not make her feel that she has any issues otherwise she could get defensive and won't take initiative. [/quote]
