Hi everyone,

I (20) male just recently started getting feelings for a girl (18). I'm not sure if she feels the same about me yet (as we have only met a few times). She is a model that likes art and is into music like metal. I am too, but she is definitely more "goth"? I have been talking to her for about 3 weeks now. This morning it came kind of clear to me she might have depression/BPD, after thinking and researching something she texted me a while ago. We were texting on the subject that looks aren't everything, and she said " I have 43 personalities and my looks are shapeshifting", I asked her "what do you mean", after which she responed "it is what it is, let it be a mystery". She already told me she has had a toxic relationship, but did not further want to talk about that. she also texted things to me like "how can I ever love someone else, I don't even love myself" and have seen her post things in her instagram story like a death note with text "write my name", and other artistic/kind of depressing things. I'm not sure if she is joking in these things, as her humor is dark too, but it scares me that she might hurt herself. she has piercings, and dresses in black more compared to a year or so ago, if I look at her old instagram pictures. With the depression part, I kind of relate to her in some ways, and we can talk about feelings easily because, 3 years ago I have been through a tough depression myself (where I almost fully recovered from). Is it safe to go into this, and might make a relationship work? Are people with BPD mostly loyal/trustable? I think I read about this somewhere (searched some things). But I know she is so amazing on the inside, I can just feel it.. If it won't work, can and should I help her? If so, how can I do this, as I want to help her love herself and make her feel better.

Thanks for reading! I would love some help :)
