non-borderline driven nuts

well, I live in Iowa and im in high school, I was literally driven nuts by a borderline, and i'm not sure if thats even possible. long story short, I was absolutely wonderful to this girl, we went out and she broke up with me in a mean way. I figured she was depressed u know, so I kept being nice to her and we were "friends" - anyway, I began to get depressed during this time and she was one of my few friends and she totally smacked me down verbally accusing me of being a stalker, immature, stupid, the last thing anyone needs in their life, and I was so depressed I thought it was me who had the people problems. Like a week later what do you know she comes back and apologizes in the nicest way ever... anyway, I just learned shes borderline and has been hospitalized 3 times.

All of my depression + mental problems have really started since my encounter with this girl, and i know my dad is bipolar and my uncle is schizophrenic

i'm pretty sure all the stress this borderline caused me caused the onset of my own mental problems, along with some other things that happened during the same time period.

is this possible? anyone have a similar experience?

I went out with a girl that exhibted BPD along with paranoid behaviour. Before I met her I was probably the happiest and most motivated I have ever been in my life. When I met her I was even better.
We broke up a couple of months ago and I am now quite badly depressed. I think the stress and confusion of the relationship is to blame. So yeah depression can be triggered by stressful life events and going out with someone with a personality disoder ranks up there in terms of the emotional distress it can cause.
I've only spoken to her acouple of times since we split and she was pretty horrible to me (though she thinks whe was being nice), which just made me worse.
I think breaking up withanyone is tough, but add in the emotional highs and lows that come with people with a personality disorder and it can be even harder tocome to terms with.
I've gone to the doctor and I'm getting some counselling soon for this and a couple of other things that are bothering me so hopefully I can ut her behind me. I'd suggest you try and put her behind you too.

wow, that describes my situation exactly. i was the most motivated i had ever been.
