Re: Burdensome friend (talk of mental disorders)

I think you should cut ties. Now, before you feel bad, consider this:

Let's say you have a friend who broke his leg. This friend, though, refuses to get help or look for a treatment option and instead, uses his broken leg as an excuse to have everyone cater to his every whim. Even if the injury is permanent and he can no longer walk, he makes no effort to look into alternative modes of mobility. He just sits in bed all day and expects to be waited on hand and foot.

That's what it sounds like your friend is doing. Your friend may have a mental disorder, but if they're refusing to get help and use it as an excuse to treat the people around them horribly, then they're abusive.

Messing up is understandable. But when people refuse to own up to it and get help, then it's not a problem with the illness so much as it is the person.
