M(23). yes, my partner has borderline personality disorder. they are refusing to get help at this point because no previous help in the past has worked. i care a lot about them, they have attempted suicide in the past when their partner left them. but now we have been dating for some time and it looks like things are getting less good no matter how much I try to help them and be there for them, giving endless reassurance. the relationship is starting to affect my mental health in a negative way, i have zero clue how to bring this up in a conversation of me wanting to leave, i have never dealt with b.p.d. before, i care about them and don’t want to have them harm their self because of me wanting to end things, I truly care about this person and don’t want them to blame their self for this, it simply just won’t work out but they do not see that at all, any advice on how to break things off with someone with b.p.d.  in the most less harmful way possible? thanks.
