Hello there! I'm Martin, sixteen-year-old guy. It's a pleasure to meet everybody, to be in a community dedicated to helping.

&amp;#x200B;

I've never been on Reddit before, so this is all rather new to me, but I digress.

&amp;#x200B;

I've known my best friend for a year now (we had our Friendiversary on March 17th) and known they have BPD for a few months less than that. Shear two or three months off of *that* and you get the time I've known I'm their favorite person. 

&amp;#x200B;

In that time, much has happened. There have been two major *incidents* between us, as we call them.

&amp;#x200B;

The first was their first suicide attempt since my meeting them, which I went to their house to stop. 

The second is one I am not comfortable disclosing publicly. 

&amp;#x200B;

In those and everything that's bogged us down (I'm depressed, anxious, and perhaps other things, myself), we've grown and become bigger and better people. 

&amp;#x200B;

That said, things are still (and will continue to be) tough as hell. Really, the purpose of this post is to open myself up to a group of people who I hope can help me out to be the best friend, and best favorite person, I can be for the best friend I've ever had the pleasure of having. 

&amp;#x200B;

Thank you for giving this a read; I hope to meet some good people here.
