Hello!

I'm a non with a question to those with BPD.

My ex (BPD) and I (non) split last year. She is still being very mean and I'm trying to understand it.

She can be very cruel and condescending on email, but then I see her in person and she just hides her face and won't make eye contact at all. Is it guilt that I'm seeing as it's easier to be mean when they ...

I recently went to my therapist, she knows a lot of what is going on in my life but this past time i saw her she told me she wants me to go on anti-depressants. I am constantly thinking about past events, what people have said to me, thinking about what the meanings of what they have said (hidden meanings etc.), constantly thinking about the future, worrying what could happen etc. I recently had 2 ...
