Supporting a Close Friend

[spifmyon]

Hello! This is my first time making a topic here

I was wondering how to support a close friend with a PD. We've been friends for years, and I feel they have been growing distant as they've been having a hard time. Does anyone know any ways I can support them while keeping my own mental/emotional health stable?

This friend means A LOT to me and I really want to show them I care. Any resources/advice in general is GREATLY appreciated!

Hi there! Welcome to this site. We are more about supporting people who are suffering from abuse by a person living with a PD. We are trying to support each other in our healing from the effects people with a PD have had on us. Supporting the PD usually means enabling their behaviour or trying to change them. Sometimes this is at the cost of your own health.
