Hi,

First post - need some help. I've had (am having) a relationship with a girl who I think is either BPD or HPD. She knows she has issues and after 2 days of reading up on each subject, I think she is one or the other.

I can still remember all of the times they'd give an exaggerated yawn and I'd keep talking with my brother in law, or take my time. Now I can sense immediately ...
