i live in the united states, we are in the eighth grade.

my (13 years old, boy/girl, genderfluid) friend nadya (14 years old, girl) often has mood swings. sometimes nadya is happy, and someone can be her best friend.

nadya seems to get attached to someone. then she suddenly gets angry with this person and may even think that he is weird. although she acts irritated, she says that everything is fine and does not say why she is irritated.

nadya was attached to lisa (14 years old) for some time, and then she began to avoid her because she thought lisa was weird. she got mad and didn’t like lisa.

i’m sure i was her platonic crush at one point.

now nadya is crushing on lisa again. sometimes nadya is calm with us, other times she gets depressed and only wants to talk to lisa.

no one else is a big deal and she acts passive aggressive towards them unless they are lisa. she avoids us and skips classes to hang out with lisa under the guise of “i had to go to the bathroom”.

she doesn’t want to be anywhere without her, just like her other crushes. she also acts like lisa is basically perfect and gets mad at any criticism of her because it ruins her day.

my mom says it sounds like a mental disorder, although i’m not sure and can’t diagnose it.

i’m worried. how can i help?
