I just finished my educational requirements for being a LPC and have a friend (and former student) who I am certain is BPD according to DSM-V.  I am her FP and I am wondering what my limits are. Should I tell her she is BPD?  

Also, in a day to day function, what are my limitations to feeding into her “neediness”? I don’t want to be insensitive but I also don’t want to feed into needy behavior that may reinforce. For example, she texts daily and expects to hang out daily. How often do I give into those needs? I am struggling with the boundary line of not wanting to be taken advantage of (something I know I’m prone to) and being loving to my dear friend. 

Would appreciate any advice ❤️
