My partner has BPD, and I have bipolar disorder. It can be a shit show at times when we miss our meds, have a stressful day, or big changes occur in our lives. However, we fight like hell and work through it all because we love and understand each other. I was just looking for some pointers on how I can be better to him in times where his BPD overcomes him. How do I show him that I understand him when he’s having an episode? How do I convey to him that I love him more than anything? Lastly, how can I do better to calm and rescuer him during an episode of sadness, anger, loneliness, or fear of abandonment? I can sometimes be cold and dissociated due to my disorders,temperament, and trauma. I just wanna do better for him and our relationship… he does an awful lot for me and my mental health.
