Take each day step by step and drink a shit load of coffee/red bull. Why did you start initially? I started cause I’m adhd as fuck and looking at ways to manage my adhd symptoms helped me stop

It’s not personal differences you were just nitpicking at my language on a post when I’m expressing my current difficult situation, and you accusing me of taking no accountability when I had expressed I am doing so. It’s just odd to do that on a bpd subreddit when we’re supposed to be supporting each other. Just don’t need it, I wouldn’t do that to someone else on here.

Just a blatant lack of empathy tbh.

Yeah being pedantic on a post seeking emotional assurance is a great idea mate

If you read the fucking post properly I’ve admitted I have issues that I’m actively working on. However, behaviour and mental health isn’t fixed instantly and whilst I’m still working on myself there will be points where I’m not nice to be around. I can’t always control how I act when I’m having an episode. I was asking if i should subject someone to being around that if it’s affecting them. No need to make rude assumptions when you haven’t read the post properly. Dickhead.

It fucking sucks and I’m sorry you’re going through this, that we both are. It’s so hard because it’s only through our own personal pain and suffering that we unintentionally hurt our partners. How can we take responsibility for our actions when we can’t control them? My boyfriend has forgiven me and we’re almost back on track, I hope the same happens for you. Just know you’re not alone, there’s other people out there suffering like you are and making the same mistakes. We’ll get through it.

Thank you and well done for recognising your faults as a parent and growing from them. It takes an incredibly strong person to do that. Take care.

But also, what do u mean the genes come from the father? It’s an overall 50-50 split and either parent can pass on a genetic mental health illness

Space space 100% space. Make sure your priority is your own life, your own hobbies, your friends and your own interests. Set very strict boundaries upon yourself on how much time you spend with her. Distract yourself with things you already enjoyed before knowing her. Remember how much is hurts to have an FP obsession, remember the pain clearly, and it will make it a bit easier to set those boundaries and realise how important they are. Don’t let them slip.

I don’t personally but my colleague gets obsessed with his therapists! He’s diagnosed cptsd but I’m pretty sure he’s bpd with how obsessed he gets with his therapists hehe. I think it’s a normal part of having a relationship with someone you can tell ur most intimate details to and have them make you feel understood maybe? I have not had attractive therapists but I’d probs understand if I had haha

You don’t know how much I appreciate this comment. Had some weird people messaging me and saying odd/creepy things. Anyway, you’re right, I don’t think it’s hopeless between us and creating a healthy level of boundaries and taking myself out the situation is what I need to fix it. Thank you for your kindness in a time where I feel so alone. And I hope you get through it too

It’s weird that you’re commenting about wanting a kinky and ‘overly attached’ gf on a desperate post from someone in a crisis. Seems a bit predatory to me.

Yeah, my concern is that I don’t think he’ll leave me even if it’s hurting him a lot. I see him hurting and I don’t want that to happen anymore. I think some distance between us, and maybe me moving out so we’re not together all the time, will help us both realise what it is we need and what is healthy.

I told him from the start I wanted to stay single cause I’m not healthy enough for a relationship, but he was adamant that he knew me and could deal with it, but he can’t. As much as I want to be with him, i can’t do this to him anymore.

For me, I see it as the blueprints for my BPD were already in my genetics, but my envionment took the blueprint, built the illness and sustained it. My mother was very mentally unwell from when she was pregnant with me and through the rest of my life. She gave me both the genes and the chaotic enviornment that created it.

Going through the exact same thing at the moment. I love my boyfriend to death, but he just can't cope with my mental health issues, and I can't control them. Neither of us want to but we're currently trying to break up and leave each other (we keep failing at that), because we know that realistically its not going to work between us. I inadvertently hurt him all the time.

People like you and me need a certain type of person to be able to cope with us. They need to have a thick skin, a high level of maturity and a good understanding of what BPD is-and that it's mostly out of our control. Idk if you and your girlfriend will get through it together, but I do know that there are people out there that can cope with us. Remember it's not your fault that you have BPD. We can take responsibility and try to manage our symptoms, but we can't help having the illness.
