(This is a throwaway account btw)

So- yeah the title basically says it. Background is that they met on Discord around half a year ago, and they started dating on around February I believe? Anyways, I'll call the friend "A" and their FP "B". So after school ended, B started doing drugs, and B started getting distant from A. B wouldn't really talk with A through DMs, instead mostly through this GC with 8 other people. 

A has previously been diagnosed with bipolar II before being re-diagnosed with BPD on 6/23, so pretty recently. Their only irl friend(C) had to go no contact for half a year(could talk again at new years). I've pretty much been the link between A, B, and C. 

I've read lots of articles and posts here about what it feels like with BPD and I just wanted to tell all of you that you guys are honestly one of the strongest people, and how exausting living with this must be. I don't really know if I should've put that in, but I just wanted to because that's like really how I feel. 

Anyways, after I learned about this I tried going online. I sent them this article

But obviously, they're not in the mood to read an entire article after they feel like shit. So I did some more research, but then I realized that it might seem like I'm ghosting them sort of so I messaged them that I was just doing some research on how to help them the most and that none of it was their fault and that I loved them(plat) a lot. And that they could vent to me and stuff. 

So now I'm not really sure how to progress with this, because I don't know anyone IRL with BPD, or have BPD myself. I really want to help them but I can't physically be there for them so I really really want to, in the best way possible, emotionally support them. What would you guys feel be the best way for me to handle this? Like specific actions that I should do to make them feel better?
