Sorry that you're going through this but,Take care of yourself. You say you can't let her go, you're talking like you have a choice. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but letting her go may be just what you need. Self care is important for you now. Sounds like you are still putting yourself...

I was a very confused therapist. I went to the university of youtube, and goggle. This sight is the only reason I didn't lise my friendship forever

I am just starting to understand what is meant by support but don't try to fix. Because all of my life I and many other men were constantly told, its a man's job to provide, fix, protect. That's what we hear constantly PROVIDE, FIX,PROTECT. So when we care or love you it's in us to do that. The...

I'm sorry that you are hurting, but from my very limited experience with anxiety or personality disorders, without her receiving help things will not only not get better but will gradually get worse. I find that most supporters that stay with the abuse do so until they have reached there pain...

Thanks for your insight

Thanks for responding so nicely

I guess I right my posts according to how I'm feeling erratic and all over the place. I apologize for that. It was a second incident, but I will give her space and our next Our relationship is that we are really close friends. At least we were. But this was the best person I have met in a long...
