<human>:  How do I best handle a situation when my friend is feeling overwhelmed?
<bot>: The best way to handle a situation when your friend is feeling overwhelmed is to take the time to listen to them and provide them with understanding, compassion, and support. Let them know that they can talk to you and that you are there for them. Offer to help them with whatever it is they are feeling overwhelmed by, and offer to help them come up with constructive solutions to their worries. Try to be understanding and reassuring, and remind them that they can get through whatever is making them feel overwhelmed.
