Re: Reassuring friends from their anxieties (when their anxieties are justified)

[(Anonymous)]

Obviously stay optimistic, but maybe in this situation it'd be better to try putting a positive spin on the alternatives?

E.g. if she can retake certain tests or redo a part of the program, then make that option seem as positive an opportunity as possible. If things absolutely cannot be salvaged this year and need to be fixed, then make the fixing look like a great thing. Be supportive of the fixing.

When it comes to rest of her courses and her dissertation, is it too late to get some help with those for her? Supporting her to get help -- be it tutoring, or someone to glance over the dissertation etc. -- might also be a good idea. Again, give her options and make them sound great, because right now she probably views all those options as failures rather than opportunities.

Given what you say about her behavior it's likely she's very aware of her situation (and the role she's played in it) so I doubt she'd actually take your reassurances as gospel. Most likely she knows they're platitudes to make her feel better, so don't feel bad about that.
