Hello :)

hello.

I was recently in a relationship with someone who was diagnosed with BPD (I don't particularly care for the term "non" as it divides it into an us v. them scenario). I have recovered from the relationship and fully accept my ex's disorder for what it is. The whole experience was fairly shocking to me. I had never heard of PDs before this relationship and it shocked me out of my naivete.

In any case, while I don't have to live with it every day, I did get a small taste of what it must be like to be living with BPD. And there is no denying it is a complete and total hell. There is a way out of hell though, even in the upper reaches. For that, I can't hold any emotion but compassion for your suffering. If you ever have any questions for me, fire away as someone who understands even a little bit and may see it from a different perspective. I'll do my best to be constructive in posts where I feel I might be able to offer the same.

You sound like a very understanding and compassionate person. We need more of you on this board, it tends to get pretty awful sometimes.

Well, what can you expect- hurt exes/loved ones and mood swinging BPDers.

Anyway, thank you!
