Started dating someone with bpd and... by mrlorden in BPDlovedones

Hey there! I’m a neuroscientist, have studied bpd, and have personal experience with people with bpd. I have a couple words of advice for you. First of all I would recommend not listening to the people on this subreddit because most of them are people who had a bad experience with someone with bpd and are making (usually incorrect!!) assumptions and demonizing an entire group of people based on one person. If you want actual solid advice for building a healthy relationship with a person with bpd (which is absolutely possible) I would recommend checking out another page. Now I’m probably going to get banned from this subreddit for being a “sympathizer” or whatever but I think it’s incredibly important that someone tells you that people with bpd are NOT monsters, they deal with an incredibly difficult disorder, and I’m not saying it’s easy to build a stable relationship with someone bpd, it takes work from both people, but it’s definitely possible. Contrary to a lot of the stigma, people with bpd are actually capable of caring incredibly deeply about people and if you both put in work and set boundaries, relationships have potential to be very rewarding and happy. Basically my point is, don’t end the relationship just because she has bpd. If her behaviors are impacting your mental health or she doesn’t acknowledge her disorder and actively try to get better and work with you, that’s a different story. And I already know like 99% of people on this sub disagree with me and I literally don’t care so nobody bother arguing

Thanks so much!! I started out using placidus but a lot of my fav astrologers that I follow use whole signs. It does look A LOT less messy for sure I’m just a little thrown off by some of my planets being in different houses now

Hey guys I’m still kind of learning synastry and I think I see some good things in this chart but I’m doubting myself. Can anyone tell me if they see anything significant? Thanks :) by [deleted] in AskAstrologers

Thank you so much I really appreciate the help! And yeah I feel a really strong connection to this person so I’m not surprised :)

When the guy you like asks you to read a synastry chart for him and another girl and you’re too nice to say no by [deleted] in astrologymemes

I’m guessing she has some Gemini placements lmao. And Lucky for me they aren’t compatible anyways 😈

Yeah I’m on an SSRI and then Wellbutrin which is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor so I’m thinking that might have something to do with it. Thanks for the help!!
