Thanks for your input.

When I was reaching the frustration point my first feedback to her was that it's important for her to discover herself and live true to herself. And if the diagnosis helps her frame her understanding of herself, gives her a relief, helps explain the way she's felt, that's great.

I don't know how to reinforce that message while also telling her to stop acting like an idiot.

I'm not naive or callous, and I'm highly educated and mental health disorders as I do youth crisis work as just part of my career. I am perceptive enough as well to know that she is embellishing so much and I just need that aspect to tone down a bit in order for me to feel comfortable being around her.
