Recently I've become close with someone I've known for a little over 3 years. She has her own struggle with mental illness. We've tried to be each other's support but it hasn't been working out. When I have my manic episodes I freak out and start thinking she is going to abandon me because we are getting too close. This past weekend we fought because she says talking about my mental illness stresses her out and makes her panic. She said she can't be my "emotional journal" because she panics and doesn't know how to help me. She has been having a friend confront me because she stressed out too much The thing that bothers me is that she says I'm not being a supportive friend when she wont open up. How am I supposed to be supportive if she won't open up? We're at the point where we can't talk to each other without arguing.

Does anyone have any advice to what I should do?
