If she was diagnosed, does that mean she has started medication and maybe therapy?

I know a few who were diagnosed and began medication...it took a while to find the right medication and to get everything under control, but after they were stable again.

Mental illness is brutal...its brutal for the person, and brutal for friends and family. It is a long process for it to be under control. Are you willing to stand by her if she is being proactive about it?

IMO, if she is seeking help (medication & therapy), it may be worth it to have a great friend at the end. If not, there isn't much you can do....you will not be a bad person if you distance yourself from her as she is the one who needs to take control.
