 I'm slowly learning how to express myself, and what a healthy relationship is. My partner has educated themselves on BPD, asks questions and is slowly helping me to process emotions and feelings.

We even have a saying for when I get paranoid. Instead of putting myself down..

...I say: "Thank you for listening to me."

It's been a real challenge to step out of old behaviours and fall in to healthy actions/feelings. I'm incredibly thankful for them and do my best to help them feel seen, loved and heard.
