Prior to getting diagnosed and treated, my relationships where not great; turbulent, full of passion that turned toxic quickly and short lived.

In this blog post I talk in detail about what relationships are like (for me at least) with untreated BPD.

Writing this one took a lot out of me, as I was trying to be as honest about everything as I could be. Suffice to say, some of the contents are embarrassing, and I regret a lot of the actions that I took back in the day.

On the positive side, this blog has been picked up and curated by Medium in the 'mental health' and 'relationships' sections, which is quite humbling!

TL:DR: Lots of splitting, idolising &amp; demonising. Passion and burnout.  
Thankfully I have gotten treatment &amp;  thankfully it is working.
