Hi there, sorry if I'm breaking any rules or if this gets asked a lot, I just came to this sub because my best friend has bpd. To be honest pretty much my only knowledge of bpd comes from the show Crazy Ex Girlfriend. I do have an anxiety disorder and have had situational depression in the past so I do have mental illness to draw experience from.

Anyway, my friend has bpd and I just want to know how I can best support her, dos and donts, that kind of thing. She's good at taking care of herself and works hard to stay on top of things like meds and therapy, she doesn't need me to baby her, I just want to be a good friend. 

Sometimes she'll go into spirals or get really worked up over small stuff and it sucks to see her go through that. Usually I try my best to just validate her feelings and relate to her on some level.

I really appreciate any comments!
