How do I end the friendship with someone who has BPD that manifests itself in severe abandonment issues? Or is it best not to say anything at all? Common symptoms of hers are frantic attempts to keep relationships or push away. Or a mix of both. I’ve been on the receiving end of both far beyond my capability to handle. And she suffers from suicidal ideation and can get very graphic about it to me. I’ve always tried and done my best to be there for her; I have. 

But I have the mental health I need to manage (my diagnosis is GAD and PTSD), and tonight after she blocked me on almost everything ‘for my sake’ (as she puts it) I almost relapsed into destructive behaviour that I’ve been clean of since May last year. So this feels like the last straw. I want to say goodbye over a social media account I believe she hasn’t blocked me on but I don’t know how and if it would do more damage to her than good. 

I could really use someone’s guidance who either is more knowledgeable about this disorder or has the diagnosis themselves (yes I realize it manifest is many ways but I’m idk... just trying to do my best here...) please no hate... I’ve been so torn up about this but it’s become abundantly apparent that, that behaviour is too much for me to cope with.
