Do you ever feel like friends are taking advantage of your over-empatheticness (I don't think that's a word but I'm making it one)? I am empathetic to a fault and I hate it, which means I'm constantly going out of my way for my friends. I mean driving hours and hours to see them, spending lots of money to get to them, thinking of cute gifts to get them, trying to support them after having babies. 

Then I got fed up since nobody is ever there for me. For example I've lived in my house for 3 years, not ONE friend has come to see me in it. 

So I vented to my friend group that I was tired of always being there for everyone but when my depressive episodes hit, nobody is there for me and nobody supports me. 

They basically shoved my BPD in my face and said it wasn't their fault that I get depressed and seclude myself (they all do that too, but none of them have mental disorders and I've never once complained about it).

 I just get so tired of trying to maintain friendships that don't understand how severe BPD is and that I'm trying my best. I have ONE friend who gets it and is supportive. 

Anyone else?
