If your friend says she can handle it herself, she needs time alone. Just let her know that you're there for her. She could really use that mental note. You can try to talk to her to see what the problem is and go from there. But other than that, just let her know that you're there for her.

The key to managing a good, healthy less stressful life is time management. I go work parttime, commute full-time to a college that is an hour away, sometimes I leave work to got to school and come back, I am a published author, in a band with my brother, taking care of my father who just had open heart surgery, and also taking care of my mother who keeps having pre-symptoms of a heart-attack. I schedule my life in order to meet the needs of everyone including myself. I try to schedule out my entire week in a date book, and follow that so I don't ever forget anything. Stress is really hard to overcome but if you add an activity that lets your stress go then you are able to handle the other stuff really well. The problem with your friend is that she is keeping all of the stress inside and not releaseing. Find an activity both of you could enjoy together to help with the stress. Even ask to help with some of the stuff just to lighten her load up.

Let your friend know that you are there for her and will be no matter what. Tell her that she can talk to you about anything and vent to you whenever she needs to. Then plan a night out for just the two of you. Go see a movie or have a girls night in and watch some silly, girly movies. Paint your nails, do face masks, eat ice cream. You know, typical girly stuff. This will make her feel like a normal girl. (not saying she's not :D) But this will make her feel like she is in a normal situation and just doing normal, girly things. Try to keep an eye on her and ask her how she's feeling so that she knows you care and are committed to making her happy and stress-free.

Hope this helps!
