advice
ok so my best friend is friends with a girl since highschool. i know this girl too since i was also in the same school as them.
and basically this girl has BPD and maybe bipolar disorder. she’s really NOT mentally well and my bsf is thinking of cutting ties with her because it impacts her negatively. she’s just scared of feeling guilty and that her friend will think she’s being abandoned.
i told my bsf that she definitely cut ties with her friend, because i know it’s not her friend’s fault, but damn it’s so exhausting for my bsf bc everytime she says smth or do smth she gotta walk on eggshells all. the. time.
how can you even tell someone who has such mental disorder that you’re breaking friendship with them? should she cut ties fr or is it too mean ? would YOU cut ties with someone because of their mental illness even if deep down u know its not their fault?
i’m demanding advices bc her friend is suicidal and im scared if my bsf tells her « bye », her friend will attempt and it’ll cause pain and anxiety to my bsf
This is just me but i would be way more devastated to found out a person was forcing themselves to be my friend than knowing they cut ties with me bc my own behavior was affecting them
Then again i understand where your bsf is coming from, if this girl is unstable enough it could lead to a bad reaction.
Either way, having to constantly walk on thin...... 1 reply
