The most frustrating thing, internet or not, is knowing that your friend is hiding pain and repressing emotional imbalances and going through an extremely rough time, but they act completely normal.
How are you supposed to act in return? Break the act and confront them when you know they're entirely scared out of their wits to say anything about it? Especially when they don't have medication or counseling?
I don't know what to do. And it grates at me, because I feel like I need to help. Buggie--the girl that's been going through this hard time--is like my sister. I've found a twin in her that I've found only a few times before now. She'll be here, at my house, in a few days. What am I supposed to do? I can't hug away the pain. Or poke it away, in our case, since that's what we're doing quite often.

I hate feeling lost about this.
