Question - (5 September 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 5 September 2012)
A male United States age 26-29, *urt234 writes:

Okay so recently my girlfriend has had something bad happen in her life. The only problem is I have no idea what it was. She refuses to talk about it, from what I understand with anyone. But whatever it is it has sent her into so far 4 sleepiness nights and a depression. She's a straight A student and she said she probably failed a quiz but doesn't f*cking care. She has also stopped alot of talking. I really have no idea how to handle this? I wanna comfort her and make her feel better because the pain in her eyes is killing me. But I have no idea how when she's pushing me away and won't tell me what happened. Any advice?

Thanks guys, I know it's not failing the quiz! What I was trying to explain...obviously poorly was that she is a straight A student and now all of the sudden doesn't care about school which is scary! Yah I'll definitely try to give her some space!

Peonysheart agony auntI agree being patient is the key here.

Just do your best to be supportive, and make sure she knows your there for her whenever she needs to talk about it.

It sounds alot more serious than just failing a quiz.

I would suggest be patient, give her some space, and see if she decides to tell you when she feels ready. If you put pressure on her, it will make her withdraw from you even further.

To have the effect of four sleepless nights, I think its more than just failing a quiz though to be honest in my opinion, but its hard to suggest anything from the limited info in your post.
