Advice please !!
I'm friendly with a young lady who suffers with schizophrenia. I sometimes struggle with managing my emotions as she can be very open, honest and direct on some days in conversations then on others literally ignores me or is very abrupt and regularly just says it's 'too much'. I'd love to hear any suggestions on how I can remain a caring friend for her and not cause her undue stress.

Well really being there for her has likely been beneficial to her..
People with schizophrenia can find themselves having difficulties finding friends so your doing a great thing with her..
I applaud you!🌲

It's a pleasure 😁😁
@RunningMachine you already answered your own question, keep being a caring friend that you are and don't create undue stress, keep your own emotions in check, there's lots of literature online how to deal with people with mental health conditions

Thank you, I struggle at times with emotional control as I have ADHD myself but I am getting better at masking it with her.
