Okay, so I was diagnosed with BPD at the age of 19 after a suicide attempt. I am 24 now, and have been feeling like I've had a handle with my BPD until recently. I have been mentally going in a downward spiral without really any control and it is taking tolls on relationships I really care about. This last week I have felt so dissociated with myself and just very off. I haven't been interested in really being around anyone or even doing much. I have been trying to open up a little more to the guy I am seeing and who I really like just because I don't want to hide any part of me from someone if I am seeing them, and this has been very difficult. It's like when I talk to him about my thoughts and feelings, I feel like a crazy person to him. I feel like it is making him less attracted to me, but I just don't know how to explain it to him in a way for him to understand that I am still the same goofy, fun, outgoing person he fell for and that I just am battling with myself immensely lately. I am trying to not just push him away and say to hell with trying to be open about a sensitive part of my daily life that I struggle with, but instead I am trying to be open in accepting that this is me. Any tips on how to communicate about BPD and how to explain to someone what BPD really can do to a person?
