I have a friend who has "come out" as plural. It's definitely a recent thing, like, within the last week, where she had a large mental breakdown and existential crisis to do with gender identity and chosen name being visually similar to her dead name, and I know she's had a ton of trouble with depression, self harm, and mental issues surrounding her transitioning, as well as her ADHD diagnosis from earlier this year.

Basically I'm worried as fuck about her. I love her, she's a fantastic person, but I also know how extreme her coping mechanisms can get (from aforementioned self harm to self-fetishisation of her transitioning). I don't hide the fact I don't understand what she's going through - as a cis monority (is that a term?) I have no idea what her life is like, but I love and respect her enough to accept her.

But is this healthy? Obviously I fully understand that this board is about plural positivity, and there's no way I'd find anyone who's like "no it's a bad thing" but I need to know if this is going to be problematic or an issue in any way down the line 'cause I don't want to see her spiralling further down a bad path.

I understand enough to know that it's not like Multiple Personality Disorder, which is a mental imbalance that needs medication, because plurality is consential, but it's also more than just a coping mechanisms.

I'm just worried. I have no medical or mental obligations to her but she's one of my best friends and I want to make sure she's safe.

TL;dr - my friend is newly plural, should I be worried about unhealthy coping mechanisms?
