Sir,
One of my friends is not able o recover from a bad past and is not able to lead a normal life. he keeps talking about that past and dig into the details of it every now and then. He has also tried to hurt himself several times. He has lost all hopes to live a happy life. He has his papers in April, but he has stopped studying. At times he also starts to behave uncontrollably and at that moment it really gets tough to control him. Please help.
