I suspect someone I know has BPD, as well as C-PTSD, and am posting this with their permission. I'll post this in the C-PTSD reddit too. Some background about this person: they struggle with insecure attachment style (I think either fearful or anxious, not sure which, just that their style is NOT secure), distrust people, fear abandonment, have flashbacks to traumatic events, nightmares, unstable self-image, black-and-white thinking (splitting is another name for this I think), and impulsive behavior among other things. They felt they never received unconditional love as a kid and experienced ongoing emotional abuse by toxic people who most likely had severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They have had many bad experiences with professionals, to the point where they fear seeing therapists or psychiatrists even though they desperately want to find out if they have BPD and C-PTSD. 

Anyway, on to the main subject, they want to get a pet. They can't get a dog or cat, but are interested in a pet rabbit or rabbits. They want an animal that tolerates or likes being pet and likes human interaction, especially if that animal can bond with owners or love their owners like a dog or cat can. 

Does anyone here who has or suspect they have BPD (or C-PTSD) own rabbits? Do they provide unconditional love and comfort, and overall make you happier? Does their presence make you feel safe and secure? Anything my friend should know? 

\*Sorry if the flair isn't right btw, if I should change it please let me know what a better one would be. This is my 1st time posting on this sub-reddit.
