It is hard to be firm with someone whom you care about.

I agree that she deserves to seek help from people who are more able to give it. Sounds like you can't right now and that's okay. Just tell her you do care about her but you can't help her.

I know it's hard.

I am also bpd and on the other end a lot. when people set boundaries with me, I have to remind myself that I am not being rejected. They just can't help me. I hope your friend can understand that. You can't help her with everything.
