Physical as in.. large amounts of stress?? Or as in literal you're being hurt? I guess both are pretty bad..

Anyways! You said that they're a great friend, one that you care about deeply, correct? That'll influence how you approach them. Yes, approach them, because you need to take care of you, first and foremost. Being caring is certainly important, and I'm not saying that you have to be selfish or something, but obviously this person is causing you (unintentional, at least that's what I gathered) harm, and it needs to stop.

Obviously, you want to approach them carefully, not blaming your pain on them but instead presenting it to them. Very 'this is how I've been feeling, unfortunately you were the cause of it.' You want to make them aware of it so it'll stop, but also be considerate towards them. Next, unless simply telling them should stop it, have a plan that will. Being prepared isn't just the Boy Scout motto, y'know. Planning is much better than just improvising, unless you're MacGyver or something. As the palindrome goes (yes I'm a nerd thank you very much), a man, a plan, a canal, Panama.

Okay, this post is already super long, ask me questions about it now (or point out stuff or something, both are good) because I can't think of anything else right now and I'm super hungry.
