Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 2)

[JRuss]

AndrewP -- she went to IC briefly last year and said it helped her. She kept a "gratitude journal" for a while after that on her IC's suggestion, so I'm pretty sure the IC saw what I see: just a reflex tendency to devalue what she has and pine for something better she imagines (that never has to stand up to the ups and downs of real life, because it's always at least a day away).

I think it would be great if she saw one now but think that it would be smothering/pressuring if I try to suggest it. I also am not sure that the IC wouldn't hear her side of things and tell her (like her friends do) that she "deserves to be happy". My own IC seems to think I should have given up a while ago for my own sanity/mental health, so I'm not even sure it would do much good even if I could somehow suggest it and have her start going.
