My therapist recommended that I not have any further contact with my suicidal friend- I described this person in better detail and she's relatively convinced that I'm dealing with a borderline personality. She says that they don't actually have 'friends', because they're always so concerned with emotional vampirism to ever reciprocate any

I recently lost a good friend of three-plus years because he suffered from Borderline Personality Disorder.

It sucked, but resources on the topic of BPD say that friends and family of those with the condition end up requiring therapy themselves. Some even experience Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A good example: There's a well-named book on the subject of this particular mental illness called I Hate You, Don't Leave Me.

Both of your latter comments are part of what she told me. I admitted to thinking "Maybe it's for the best" and she said many people who associate with borderlines have feelings like that, just because they get so tired of seeing someone they care about be so miserable all the time.

It ain't easy to literally and figuratively turn my back on a friend, but I asked if said person was getting help and received an affirmative reply. The way I see it, a therapist will be of much more help than I could possibly be, so there's no point in continuing to destroy my peace of mind to no end.

Now the rumors have begun about WHY we aren't speaking- very few people know what he did so I'm trying hard to only discuss my actions and my point of view.

Goddamn gossips. Still, I know I'm doing what needs to be done, so I have at least that to comfort me.

heyyyy!!!
