I grew up with a girl who now has depression, bipolar, anxiety and NPD. She's always been hard work (very sensitive, would put herself into dangerous situations with unreliable people, self-harm and suicide attempts when things weren't going her way, has to be centre of attention, jealous) but I cared about her a lot as we'd known each other from birth, and I helped her through a lot of bad times over the years.
A couple of years ago she told a lot of our mutual friends about me insulting her, whilst in tears, which resulted in me being questioned about this cruelty I'd shown to her. Actually, it didn't happen. Since then, I've stepped back but I still sort of feel guilty. I know mental illness is what's making her act this way, but where's the line between mental illness and personality? Her life isn't going well and I feel like I should be supporting her, but I don't want to deal with the drama, lies and manipulation.
Anyone been in a similar friendship?
