Hi clydeblack. I did not interpret your intentions as bad. I think the topic of losing friends or pushing away potential or existing friends is a good one. I simply wanted to mention that I see this as an issue for more than just relationships involving a person with borderline personality disorder Mental illness is rough on relationships, indeed. I am aware that a couple of the symptoms of BPD specifically relate to issues with relationships. I hope that your friend will receive some therapeutic support and that your relationship will be restored, if both parties wish.
