Telling a Friend They Need Help

Dear Lana,

You're a workaholic. And a sensitive one to boot, there's no way to get around this without you feeling butt hurt. Someone needs to say this outright. You have no time for anyone. You have no time even for yourself - why not see friends and family outside of work?

This is me, with the best of intentions and just looking after you. Well, your mother called and asked me to look after you. She told me what's up and up. And I'm concerned as well. If you need anyone to talk to, coffee and cigs on me.

Love,
Marge
