hi. my girlfriend has bpd. i am 18 and she is 17. She has a severe case of bpd so she was able to be diagnosed at 15. She’s been in and out of therapy for a long long time. she is the most self aware person with bpd i have ever met. She communicates with me, she tells me what she needs, she is honest with me. She has split on me twice since our relationship started and both times after she “came back” (finished splitting) she had a conversation with me about what triggered her and why she was splitting and apologized for it (which i told her there was no need to apologize.) She has “quiet and self destructive” bpd. She hates hurting other people so when she is upset she directs her anger towards herself. It takes a lot to get her into a rage episode and i have not yet seen it happen. Usually she gets in depressive episodes for various reasons. I’m more than happy to help her with whatever it is she needs from me. She’s very honest about her bpd and what she needs from me depending on her mood. I love that about her. I know there’s a stigma of people with bpd and i fuckin hate it because she is one of the best people i have ever met. she is loyal, she is caring, she is kind, and she is funny as FUCK. I don’t even know why i’m writing this lol i just want anyone reading this to know that your stigma can kiss my ass because there are some amazing people out there with bpd. Also, any tips for being in a relationship with someone who has bpd is greatly appreciated. I’m researching all i can and i would love any help. Keep going ya’ll.
