I have several concerns, the majority right now in regards to my Relationship.

I'm afraid of being misunderstood, and I'm scared that the diagnosis might be used against me. Either to invalidate emotions, or to guilt trip me into believing I am a bad person.

*However*, I can understand that these are valid worries, yet they might still not come true. And that is why I want to do things the right way. Instead of feeling threatened, I want to be as open about this as possible.

Therefore, I would like to ask people with BPD, or mayve especially partners of people with BPD, what has helped you understand this better.

It can get really overwhelming to try and explain myself to my SO, and since I'm new to this diagnosis, I don't know a lot yet.

What would _you_ tell him, i.e. what information should he know, if he were to try to understand me (or BPD) better?
