Can a person with BPD function normally in certain aspects of their lives, but experience the symptoms with only specific persons or circumstances? 

For example: can you find yourself 100% capable of maintaining a career and many relationships, but then not manage a healthy partnership or family?

I don’t just mean “holding down a job”... I mean college, dedication to thriving career, building a supportive network of colleagues and friends for support - but then feel completely unstable and/or codependent with a child, or never manage to have a successful romantic partnership. ???

Thank you for your input!
