One of your friends suffers from asthma. When you asked how she's been doing, she said yesterday wasn't a good day. She then changed the subject and asked how you were. After you responded, you asked about her again. She started to blush a tiny and said that there are decisions she's made that put her in contact with a few triggers. But she's trying to do the best she has the ability to, especially since some triggers are unavoidable. She stated it takes so much energy and effort to figure out what she had been in contact with the past few days to make it act up. She also said she “can't take it anymore” and it feels like there are always weights on her chest. She was mostly looking down at the table as she was revealing all of this to you.
After this, what impression would you get from her?
Answer:
I would feel that she’s embarrassed to tell me what triggers her asthma attacks. The way she’s hiding what happened to you isn't a good sign of friendship, if I were you I would tell her straight up that I’m concerned about her and want to help. The way you describe her looking down at the table makes me believe like she's going to say something about you triggers her asthma such as the clothes you wear or pet hair on you. She seems upset to and frustrated especially because she calls the triggers weights on her chest. The way she’s talking makes me wonder what really triggers them, just talk to her and be considerate so she’ll open up. Just a pointer if your friend is speaking to you in this way you should try to work on the communication skills between you two because she doesn't seem like she wants to give out information. Hope I helped.
Answer:
I would think
She has asthma, which it can be hard to avoid triggers (pets, seasonal allergies, even teddy bears collect dust)
Maybe shes upset she has it.
Maybe she doesn't want to share her day with you.
Maybe shes trying to avoid the fact she left her inhaler at home
I dont know why this is under mental health. Mentally she sounds fine.
Answer:
I wouldn't think she's emo or anything, or even someone who complains about to much.
I think she just has a rough life and it's hard for her to take it.
I'd probably just try to make her feel superior, each day aha

Answer:
This doesn't sound like a mental health issue…
she probably just has asthma…and since spring is starting her asthma is acting up…
Answer:
Sounds like she needs a hug, and a long chat. One of them ones where she does most of the talking and you just listen.
