A good friend of mine told me she had/has (she mentioned residue? Not sure I quite understood that) a major problem in life that caused her a lot of distress, but she could not bring herself to tell me what it was.
I need help to figure out what that problem was, based on the clues I got.
1. It's something she was too embarrassed to tell her parents, although she eventually (after it was over) told her mom, but claims she could never tell her dad.
2. It was something her boyfriend supported her through.
3. It was psychological, but it can and did have physical consequences.
4. It's not sexual, depression, or drug/alcohol/any similar addiction, it also ain't self harm (cutting/suicide, etc.).
5. It has a specific name, and it is something I might not have heard of (her boyfriend didn't), or I might have but I wouldn't think of it as anything serious if I didn't know it well enough. It's also something you ought to visit a psychiatrist for, although she didn't.
6. She's outgoing, quite handsome, and likes to bullshit about being in depression (she acknowledges she's not), stuff like say her life is terrible despite everything going for her, first world problem kind of shit. She also frets a lot about her academic career.

I'm not asking you to persuade me to give up.
She said she wouldn't lie and say I got it wrong if I guessed right, so just throw in a list of things you think it might be, even if you think it's a far shot.
