I have BPD, as does this girl I know. And I'm in love with her. I've never felt anything like what I feel for her. It consumes me. We had a great relationship until she came to the realization that she was unworthy and was only going to hurt me. We were partyingat a traphouse and I took her to the side to talk and she broke up with me to "protect me". I don't want our relationship to end this way. Before the police took her away I told her I love her, and she said it back, shes told me many times how she feels and continues to feel about me but that she doesnt want either of us to get hurt again. How can I help to convince this girl that she's not the monster she believes she is? She sees herself as some sort of drug addicted, evil freak but all I can see is the beautiful woman inside, trapped by years of rejection, abuse, and self hatred. If I can't be with her, I want to atleast help her love herself, and finally be happy. Thats all Ive ever wanted.
