My best friend has been diagnosed with BPD. She has tried commiting suicide 3-4 times in the last 5 months. She is getting help, has been hospitalized several times, is heavily medicated, and has even gone through a course of ECT treatments. My problem is this.....it's getting old....I know that part of her problem is she can't be left alone, but I have a fiancee and a 2 year old to worry about as well.....I just found out that she tried again last night and is sitting in the psych ward again! I can't "babysit" her 24/7 because her negative view on life is starting to bring me down. Is it time for tuff love? How do I try to make her understand that she has to make a conscious decision to make her self better?
