There was one woman I exchanged PMs with pretty intensively for a year or so. But over time I got the sense that she was really emotionally volatile, and eventually we had a bad falling out. I think she may have had Borderline Personality Disorder. It sucked to fight with her, but after a couple of weeks I was glad it was over. I didn't like the walking-on-eggshells feeling I got from being her friend.

There was another woman I met through fandom and we became good friends in real life. Sadly her mental illness (she was diagnosed with extreme, treatment-resistant anxiety and depression) began to consume her life more and more over the years we were friends, and eventually it was too much for me. I couldn't figure out where the line was between being supportive and enabling her self-defeating behaviors. Anyway, I guess she felt judged by me because she broke it off. I still miss her, and I regret my part in our falling out. But I also feel like with the headspace she was in, it might have been inevitable.
