Hi all! My best friend (21f) very obviously has BPD that is reaching a fever pitch. I’ve been through a long diagnosis process for BPD myself (ultimately getting diagnosed with something else) and know the symptoms intimately. Unfortunately, her BPD makes her erratic emotionally and completely unable to get help; when I suggested she go to counseling, she implied that the therapist would report back to her mother and dismissed me. I was thinking that maybe saying something out loud (“Hey, I think you may have BPD”) that maybe she would take it more seriously. Is that a good idea? 

Honestly any advice would be helpful. She can’t go on like this and I’m worried she’s going to hurt herself or be in a risky situation. Thank you!
