I have a friend who has BPD. I know that it can be very hard to control a lot of what your brain tells you to do, or how you feel when you have it. My friend was recently diagnosed after I encouraged her to go talk to a therapist about her recent patterns of behavior and some of the feelings she had from them. It seems like after this she has started self destructive behaviors more. I won’t go completely into the behaviors because I don’t want to share her personal life. I just want to know what the best way to talk to someone with BPD is. How do you voice your concerns and let them know you care and want them to get more help? She was tell me her plans that include some form of self destructive behavior and I will advise her that she might regret this, and it isn’t the best choice to do that. And I feel like I am not being heard because she doesn’t listen and does it anyways. I just want her to be genuinely happy again, and I don’t know how to help her achieve that. Any and all advice is appreciated.
