Thanks everyone for the advice and support. I find it shocking when someone mistreats me, who I have gone out of my way for. I am going to bring up once again to her how much it hurt me last night. I agree with the above that she acts like she understands what I go through, but she doesn't.
It also didn't settle well with me when recently she said, "My problems sound worse than yours." This is not true, we both have completely different sets of problems, and she has no understanding of my experiences with Bipolar (the psychosis, the episodes, etc), in an attempt to open up to her about how I have issues myself. I give up.

I was thinking the same that some of her traits remind me of BPD. She switches up out of nowhere, and she seems to always have problems in her own relationships. I'm starting to see a pattern where she never holds herself responsible for her part in things and blames people easily when she senses rejection. I do need to continue setting boundaries. I empathize with her, but I can't allow myself to be walked all over. If she continues to act demanding and disrespectful, then I'm going to have to distance myself from her. Maybe I should start with a little distance now.
