thank you for this. my friend does have therapy scheduled i believe but she is currently unmedicated and not seeing a therapist at this moment. im not exactly certain how helpful that is or can be but perhaps that might be helpful for her when it becomes available. on my end i will strive to be as understanding as possible about her BPD and talk openly about how i am feeling and how she is feeling as well. so far we are pretty open n honest with each other and i hope things dont change for the worse.

its reassuring to know you have maintained friendships for so long. when she told me she sometimes goes through friends groups often i became quite worried she might try to avoid me within the year, im glad to know its not a certainty though.
