Mentally unstable friend


Question Posted Tuesday March 29 2011, 10:23 am

18/f
I used to be best friends with this girl, all through high school, ad even middle school. Well, she had developed some
severe mental disorders, and I didn't think it was right to just ditch her because she was a little unstable sometimes. Over the years, she has gotten much worse. Were really not friends at all anymore. We used to hang out every week, and I haven't for a few months, and i haven't even talked to her in like a week. But, I'm FINE with this. I was trying tompushbher away, however I am a little nervous. She knows many secrets about me. And in afraid if I don't stay friends with her she will get angry, and tell them to people.

How do I handle this?!

Additional info, added Tuesday March 29 2011, 1:24 pm:
I should have added: she has spread lies about me & my friends, hardly talks to me, but gets mad if I don't talk to her, is insanely jealous, is rude, and yells at me & tries to fight with me constantly.

For the past three years she has been like this, it's not like she suddenly just started acting strange yesterday, she has had many problems for awhile now. My mother actualy doesn't like me hanging out with her, because of how unstable she can be.

I also have a class with her, art, and we sit next to eachother.

ok, the only thing i can think of is to have a serious talk with her. The type of talk that will end the friendship and keep the peace at the same time. Since she may be a little nuts, you should talk to her in a very gentle yet firm tone that shows her that you dont wanna be friends but maybe "associates". the bad thing to do is argue with her, you dnt wanna piss her off. also, if you rly think she has a mental issue, it would be very helpful to go talk to her mom or close family or friend. just dnt make her feel like a weirdo. hope this helps!:]

I'm sorry to say, but because of her mental disorder you should be there for her. If you ever truly considered yourself a good person or even a good friend, in my opinion you are horribly wrong. Who cares about your secrets? Your friend is probably feeling alone and deserted. Someone who was once close to her and important to her just up and pushed her away because she was to heartless to care. How would it make you feel if it was the other way around? You developed this mental disorder and she pushed you away. Before you worry about what she will tell people, worry about what kind of a person you are.
