I'm at the end of my rope... my therapist thinks my friend has BPD (we were intimate once but have since moved to different cities). We still keep in contact, but it's getting harder to manage the relationship because she constantly asks for emotional support regarding job searching and depression.


To be frank, I feel like I need a break from it all. Or at least the emotional vacuum. I've been saying for years now that it feels like she never really cares about how *I* feel and I just want her to take my feelings seriously and I'm not sure how to communicate that what I say comes from the heart and isn't trying to slam her. She always takes it as an attack and I just want to be heard. Is there any way I can present stuff so she will take my feelings and requests seriously?
