Hi Junior and welcome to our community.

Your girlfriend has been through a great deal in her life. :( Is she open to getting some help for herself? It's difficult to see someone we care about struggle so much, but often times the best we can do is stand by and support them. You can suggest to her that she might benefit from help, but this choice is ultimately up to her. As you stand by your friend, I hope too that you remember to take care of your needs.

She has a couple of times but then she just falls back into her old habits she did say that she is going to start going to the gym again and was going to write her goals down and put them on the wall so that she sees them when she gets out of bed I don't know if she has done that cause I haven't seen or talked to her for a couple weeks that what she does when she starts to get happy but I try and get her some help
