You answered your own question, you can't do anything. It is the responsibility of your friends and their family to get help. I think you have to look at whether these friendships are serving you. Friends should take your support but also support you when you need it. And they should have at least some of your goals and values in common with you. I know it seems cold to desert people when they are in need, but these girls may ALWAYS be in need. Do you want to spend your life giving them emotional support. You don't have to be mean about it, but I would seek out some new friends or maybe just some new activities that you can do on your own. Your FIRST responsibility is your own health and happiness -- that doesn't make you selfish, it makes you sane.
