I’ve been diagnosed with bpd for over a year now. I knew the definition and the stigmas but neglected to do any in depth research. When I was diagnosed, I had been with my boyfriend for about 3 months. Now we have been together for almost a year and half and I feel like he doesn’t understand what I am going through. He will listen to me about my anxiety and depression but kind of brushes off the bpd. It’s not his fault because I am still learning what it is and how to cope. I just hate to put him through this because I don’t know what I’m doing or how to control my emotions. I feel like I’m hurting him because of my symptoms of bpd and I feel selfish because I love him so much and I want to stay with him.
