Hi all,

I have recently been introduced to the term Borderline Personality Disorder, when my female friend nonchalantly told me she is being medicated to control it. I'd love for her to be my girlfriend, but at this stage I'm not sure if we are capable of maintaining a stable relationship.

I have done my research and yeah... a lot of the symptoms are evident daily. She has really hurt my feelings a few times. Perhaps once or twice she didn't really care much for me either, in contrast to the days where she is upset if it gets past dinner time and I haven't spoken to her yet. She's big on the spending, sex and also very emotionally unstable. She is also highly self depreciating, which upsets me. Couple that with the eating and self image problems and sometimes it can be quite difficult to emotionally have a mutual understanding of each other

I really like this girl and want to try to see if there is a future with her. I know it will be a lot of work, but I am really just looking for advice from girls and guys as to how I can approach this.

I am very lost right now. I'd love any form of help :)

Update: Thank you for the support and perspective given so far!
