Former Friend with BPD?

[askingtoheal]

.  My former friend has the capacity to support survivors' PTSD symptoms.  We survivors of PTSD need the support of people who know and have gone through this.  My goal is the same as in the beginning which is to recover myself.  I have not been able to find another supportive person who knows about this. 

askingtoheal,
The above has me wondering why type of credentials does your friend have?

She likes to help people with their grief, ok.  I have supported others with PTSD symptoms too and received their support.  One doesn't need credentials to do it.  It is tough but the support and help of others is essential to recover.

I agree that friends can support with ptsd symptoms but you can count them as a support system and not your primary support. A friend/relative can check out when they find things overwhelming because they don't have all the tools to get them through. Since your friend has checked out, how about we bring the focus back to you and ask you what is the soecific issue you'd like to address to bring you back to center? I guess it might help you to accept that the friend is incapable of helping you right now - the reason could be anything from she/he having BPD or any other legit reasons. You should have the key to your happiness so let's start with your specific issue to be addressed.
