6 Signs Your Partner Might Be Struggling With Bpd

[@Psych2go]

Can you guys help do us a favour? If this video is helpful, can you share it? We feel a topic like this needs more awareness than our other vids. Yep ironically these topics don’t get as much interest on KZbin.

Could you make a video for adult parents who are trying to navigate a relationship with children with BPD?

[@supersillyme]

of course, it’s unfortunate these topics dont get the attention they should. would you also maybe consider covering another topic similar to this, expect how to deal and not tick off a (mild) BPD parent, more specifically mother? thank you again for this video!

I will definitely share and save this video for reference. I have someone in my life who has BPD so I have educated myself as much as I can in the last few months (literature, working with a psychologist, etc.) and I can say that this video is very well put together and absolutely agree that this topic needs more awareness.

[@HashiKyo]

My boyfriend has BPD. We're high school sweethearts. We dated in high school and early college and that's where i experienced his BPD. We broke up after 5 1/2 years. We were apart for several years after that. We tried a couple more times between 2012 and 2016 but nothing ever stuck. We started really talking again in 2019. Found out he got diagnosed with BPD while we were apart. He went to lots of therapy and took meds. Well now i can say we've been dating for over 2 years now and he is better than ever! He has learned to manage it with just what he learned through therapy and no meds. I'm very proud of him and with how far he's come in 10 years. We really do love each other and I'm very supportive of him and his mental health and he is the same on to me. We are each other's support system and the best cheerleader to each other. ❤ Edit: Just wanted to let everyone know that we're engaged now and we couldn't be more confident in each other and happy! I truly hope that other people who have BPD can have the same story as us. There is hope! 🥰

[@t5uu_]

does he still have mood swings, and the worst parts of bpd? or it stills, but not so much intense? (as someone diagnosed with bpd i really suffer a lot with that things, and i would like to know how the simptoms got better!!) if u dont feel confortable to share it, i respect its totally fine :D hope the best for both of u 🥰

[@HashiKyo]

@@t5uu_ So he also has depression and anxiety but I guess that all goes hand in hand. If work is really stressing him out then he'll noticed himself slipping a bit but fortunately he doesn't take it out on me anymore like years ago. Mood swings are very mild in these cases and he notices when he needs to take a step back and evaluate the situation and recognize how he's feeling. I didn't go through therapy and all the meds with him so I don't exactly know all that he learned. I do still worry when he does feel like this but I know that as long as I'm patient, understanding, and continue to educate myself on BPD that he'll be okay at the end of the day. He takes a lot of steps to protect his mental health. I wish I could be more help to you though. 🥺

[@HM-cp7gy]

thank you for sharing your story, it gives me hope! my boyfriend of two years was diagnosed with BPD before i met him but received therapy. he does still fear abandonment but it just manifests as seeming a little clingy. otherwise i don't notice any other symptoms in him, and he says he has his emotions under control from the techniques he learned in therapy

Thb, i feel kind of bad reading them. I'm a male with BPD and in a very loving relationship with my wife. I hold myself accountable when I have episodes and keep tabs on my splitting and correct myself internally when I find my behavior incongruous with my typical baseline. I get quite upset about a good few things, mostly my experience as a homeless teen or my struggles as a recovered drug user (12 years clean) and recovered alcoholic (5 years clean). I get mad about society and its treatment of people, i get irate about pay disparages and inflation gouging everything. And i mean really upset, but I always tell her it isn't her, I'm just chaffed. I get emotional tempests that brew on and off for days, and I keep her informed of my state when I'm oscillating through emotional states. I hate myself somedays and accept myself others, but she loves me to death every day. She has seen me at my worst, but she knows me at my best frequently. The face that she sees who I am at all is a blessing. These comments just make me feel like others with this condition and myself are irredeemable creatures of misfortune and are to be avoided at all costs. It's bleak.

[@portableface597]

@@ChrisPTY507 i think you may have misunderstood my comment. i completely understand needing to keep people at an arms length if they make your life miserable and i agree. i was just saying that the amount of negativity directed towards people with bpd is upsetting to see. sharing your bad experiences with someone vs saying something like “never date someone with bpd” are very different things. i don’t like seeing things that could make someone i love feel unlovable. i was just pointing out that people could be a little more compassionate that’s all.

[@tietosanakirja]

I was married to a person, whom, I think, matches the description. It was hell. I was walking on eggshells for years. I was never at ease at home. When she'd get mad, it seemed she wouldn't stop until she had stomped me out of existence. On top of that, her therapist blamed me for making it worse. If I wasn't at my best and couldn't take and swallow the onslaught, it would lead to a bad fight. She used to threaten me with divorce, but wouldn't go through with it. Finally I decided it wasn't healthy for either of us and applied for divorce. Being lonely is so much better than living in hell.

[@D_0_S]

@@tietosanakirja I understand the fights, it was either that or a cold shoulder. I have Bipolar myself, but I was doing everything to keep it going when it was already a losing battle.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder 1 & 2 in 2008. Then, in 2016, I was diagnosed with BPD, Social and General anxiety. I have taken treatment such Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with great success. However, I have found a repeat trigger that causes my BPD to rear its head is my mother. I've discovered that if I don't include her, my BPD is not triggered, and I don't have to ride that Ferris wheel roller coaster through the dark maze of emotions. ❤

[@NaijaBossx]

I resonate so much with your words, I was diagnosed with BPD and Bipolar Disorder and the truth is whenever my mother comes into play I go through a roller coaster of emotions, I’ve gone through two therapists and still not found a solution. I believe the best option is to stay far away from her

[@msrpmusic303]

BPD, like most psychological issues, is on a spectrum. But when you have full-blown BPD or any severe personality disorder, it is your responsibility to seek treatment and self-improvement. People with BPD can be abusive towards their partner and we cannot allow untreated BPD to be an excuse. Seek treatment if you are struggling, these diagnoses are not death sentences. Everyone has the potential to get better. But again, it is on YOU to take these steps.

[@cecilia7608]

My psychiatrist once said about splitting that the devaluation and idealization seems to come from a perspective that we as people with bpd have on ourselves, projected on who's around. Basically meaning that as my self image shifts constantly and with that my self esteem, going from good, to very high, to very low, to acceptable, to the worst etc I then see the people around me through these lens, always, ending up treating them as I feel about myself. I found it really interesting but I would love to hear other perspectives too!

[@garxik9715]

Yep. Totally makes sense. When someone would devalue or belittle someone with BPD, from experience, they would take it out and do the same to their closest ones.

thanks for putting this video together; it's a bit of a relief knowing that other people have gone through some of the same phases themselves, or experienced similar things with their partners as well. before I get to my story, I know there's a lot of stigma and misinformation surrounding people who suffer from BPD, and I wanna make it clear that not everyone with the diagnosis is like the person I'm about to bring up. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship with somebody who had BPD a few years ago. the first month or so felt like a dream I didn't wanna wake up from; I mean, it wasn't perfect, but it was the first time I'd ever felt like I was truly being loved romantically, and she assured me that the feeling was mutual. the next 2 months were complete and utter HELL. I dunno if I got "split" but she'd disappear and wouldn't say a word to me for days about 2 weeks after I brought up something she did around Christmas that made me uncomfortable. then, days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and I was just hoping, praying that things would go back to the way they were and that she was gonna be alright. turned out the 2 months she left me high and dry, she was busy sleeping with other people 🙃

[@sarahalexander5087]

where is ur story? i'd really like to read it.

[@tonynewman597]

So sorry to hear this, you deserve better than someone who treats you this way.

[@Music_mental_health]

I am someone with BPD. It was hard reading this story and I’m sorry that you experienced it :( I am in a long term relationship with someone who is incredibly patient, loving and understanding. Now, I admit to engaging in self-destructive behaviours which have impacted on our relationship. I cannot speak for the person you were in a relationship with of course. I frequently split against my partner. Now deep down, I know that I love them through these intense feelings of anger and resentment and that it’s not true hatred of them. What I personally experience that constitutes as splitting (I think anyway) is something (for example, an event) which triggers an emotional response based on my thoughts or feelings based on that event, combined with my associations with it if it has happened before. When I’m splitting, it feels like white hot rage or very bitter resentment, if not a combination of both. When I’m feeling it, it feels almost like it’s having a physical impact on my body via adrenaline and such. It feels so vivid, intense and incredibly raw and real - sometimes to the point where I’m struggling to breathe despite no strenuous exercise being done or without valid reason for it. Afterwards, I feel exhausted. Like the wind has almost been knocked out of me. After I recover, that’s when I start to return to my Wise Mind (a DBT concept I learned this year while in therapy) and that’s when I’m capable of listening, genuinely empathising, feeling guilty and remorseful. Something I’ve been getting a lot better at is owning up to my own mistakes and apologising to that person or persons that I have negatively impacted as a result of my own feelings and responses. It is not easy at all but it something I work on.

[@TT35109]

@@Music_mental_healthI have bpd too but when I apologized for my past actions, they kept digging deeper and wanting more than an apology so I started to feel like a monster. It led to two bpd episodes back to back. Crying and hitting myself. What to do then? I worked so hard for so long. As the video said here, I feel like I didn’t have any symptoms of bpd for years (2-4) then it all came back when my partner brought up my actions and after I apologized, it wasn’t enough.

Not loving how this makes these absolute psychos sound like innocent cutesy little wittle victims when they randomly lash out, cheat, lie, manipulate, threaten self-harm, treat people like pawns on a chess board & generally go through relationships like a hot knife through butter. It's like a mass gaslighting with this disorder because nobody is willing to talk about the realities of it. There's a reason so many therapists won't even treat them. No matter how badly you feel inside, that doesn't justify abuse & violence--physical, verbal, emotional or otherwise. Unprovoked mood swings & making people walk on eggshells IS abuse. Putting someone on a pedestal only to kick that pedestal off a damn cliff the next day for no reason other than something you imagined in your head IS abuse. You think schizophrenics or people with severe OCD or Tourette's don't feel absolutely miserable inside? Tortured, trapped, afraid, ashamed, etc? Still, you don't see them treating others like the Cluster B crowd. It is 100% a choice & there can be no change without accountability. Take off the kidgloves; you are officially enabling.

[@ph_illy]

@@ChrisPTY507 Calling people with BPD “psychos” just tells us enough about what kind of person you are. Get educated on the topic - therapists who don’t want to treat people with BPD are simply not qualified enough to treat complex personality disorders. Because the thing about BPD is that there’s always multiple or a single coexisting condition such as MDD, generalised anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, CPTSD, etc. And that’s why it’s so difficult for therapists to treat people with BPD. Simple because it’s incredibly complex. Mental illnesses manifest in MANY different ways. And if you read the diagnostic criteria for BPD, it doesn’t say anything about being manipulative and abusive. Nothing about cheating, lying or treating another person badly overall. These are very personal and dependent on a person, not their disorder. Despite what you believe, science has a consensus that people with BPD are in fact victims. Victims of their parents or caregivers. It also proves that with extensive and right kind of psychotherapy, people can go into remission to the point where they don’t even meet the diagnostic criteria for BPD. Truly, get educated on this topic because it seems like you’re being too emotional at the moment.

They don't know about the rotating friend groups, the various partners that never stayed very long, the loneliness, the isolation, the fear of interacting with new people because they'll probably just up and leave because i'm too much which as literally been said before, or they just don't want to deal with me anymore.

But people with BPD are toxic They cause CPTSD and sometimes suicide

[@elf_bunny_blue666]

My husband is aware that I have bpd. He was the first one I told after I got the diagnosis. We both agreed that, while it's no excuse for the behaviors I can display, it definitely explains a lot and helps us understand why I gave self destructive, impulsive behaviors. It's helped me be a better wife and it's helped him become aware of things that can cause an episode or when I'm struggling in silence. It's brought us closer.

[@cshaffer8258]

I was married for 23 years. After 19 years, my ex was diagnosed as having BPD. The only problem, was that she refused treatment or to even believe that she had BPD. In her eyes, she was fine and the doctors didn’t know anything. She tried the medication at first and within a couple of weeks, refused to take them or anything. She refused therapy or any other treatment. This all lead to our good marriage ending badly. It’s sad how everything happened. We were happily married, had 2 beautiful children and things just fell apart after year 19. She was definitely scared to death of abandonment, however her fears actually made things bizarrely worse. I miss what we had together. It’s been 11 years since our divorce, but she hasn’t changed whatsoever. And refuses to do so. Sad!

Days where i was the perfect girl to start a new life with and days where our relationship for sure will not work...was starting to become a limbo. We have been in a relationship for almost one year and he decided to broke up with me almost 3 months ago...and, also if his dubts were starting to create problems, i was suffering so much, i went through depression... after a couple of months w.o any type of contact he texted me saying he was missing me etc etc and he still dont know if he wants me or not xD Atm he is in therapy and we text eachother everyday and we r trying to keep in contact as something like friends But after watching this video and read some comments...i think would be better for myself if i just run away xD cuz is still like a limbo...he doesnt want to lose me (he also cried hard around 2 weeks ago when i said to stop talking and meet eachother), but he still isnt sure about his feelings for me

[@S.T.C.4]

I was diagnosed with BPD at 14. I'm 25 now, and things have gotten a lot better over the years. I've stabilized a lot, although I still have my moments. I can still be explosive when something bad happens to me, but I've learned to control myself when it's someone else that caused me to be upset. The fear of abandonment is still the biggest issue, although it's gotten so much better. Acceptance became one of my favorite words. I think a lack of control is what brings out a more manic side in people with BPD, at least it did for me. But learning to be okay with the things I can't control really helped me the most. Learning it's okay not to be in control of everyone and everything around me. I think it's just harder for a lot of us to stay grounded when we get overwhelmed with a feeling or bad thought. Be it a state of anger or sadness, or paranoia thinking this or that or my SO is ignoring me maybe I'm boring, etc. I can get over anger in seconds or a minute now, but sadness can still beat me up for a day. But I think the older you get and learn how to deal with your emotions, the easier it gets. It's a little harder than it is for people without it, but you'll get there eventually :)

I would say the only thing that stopped her from fully exercising her nature towards me, was my confidence and security in myself. Her tricks never worked and creepy enough, it made her lose interest. If you're with someone like this, encourage them to get help and honestly...leave them be. You're not an expert nor should you be their therapist. It'll exhaust you beyond belief. Best of luck!

I have noticed some things that are similar to BDP or as undetached in my ex boyfriend. I once told him after we started an argument: something that bugs me is that your feelings towards me don't seem constant. One day you say you love me and the next day you act as if you met me yesterday. He also has a tendency of putting someone else's efforts and work as less than what he does. We ended breaking up but still talk to each other. Not sure if both of us going to therapy could have saved the relationship but is something that I now noticed while watching this video.

[@brunscrum9378]

Therapy and being open to introspective work is a lovely start! Try to find a therapist for yourself that helps you feel safe, and don’t be afraid to ask them questions, too. You deserve goodness and patience, and you don’t need to be toned down to make yourself palatable for others. You need self-compassion and tools that can help you on your life’s journey. Tools that can help you navigate and be healthier for you and for those you care about. Medication is a possibility, which can be intimidating, but when you find one that helps along with therapy, it can really help to change your current struggle and baseline. Also a romantic relationship isn’t always the answer if you need to focus on yourself. That doesn’t mean it can’t happen, but it is important to remember a relationship won’t magically fix things, even if it feels good for a while. If we don’t deal with our mental health, it won’t deal right on back. Take care, and keep trying :)

As someone with BPD and a successful long-lasting relationship.. It's definitely possible to maintain relationships, and even if it takes time, don't resign yourself. A few things are necessary in order for it to work. - Honesty, understanding, and communication on both sides; explaining to partner/friends why certain things happen and hearing out their sides. - Establishing and respecting boundaries for everyone involved. - Introspective work on yourself, therapy, and whatever other treatments you choose. You don't need to make yourself more palatable to other people either. The right people will love you for who you are. And sometimes it's okay to focus on yourself if you aren't ready for a romantic relationship. It's a lot of ups and downs, but it can work. I wish you the best.

I had to leave my boyfriend. He had completely ruined our relationship all while refusing to seek treatment. It was strange seeing a person being so afraid of abandonment that he caused it. The volatility at one point became physical violence. He could laugh one moment, and then the next he was telling me to call SWAT and lie so he'd get shot. Shortly before I left him, I had to put my dog down, she was very sick. And after I left, he began telling people that I murdered HIS dog just to hurt his feelings, and every time he tells this story, he adds more and more insane details that didn't exist before. He told so many stories, he would constantly add and omit details to manipulate, it was so tiresome. I lost friendships over his sabotage. Ever since I left, I've been so happy.

I don't really devalue my partner, usually with my quiet/discouraged BPD it's all 'i'm somehow not good enough, what did i do? how can i fix this?' it's a self-devaluation, a coping mechanism, I devalue myself first so i have more control over the situation, it's 100% not a good thing to do, but growing up with a narcissistic parent, actually, multiple of them, and one that also most likely has BPD too, you learn to take the blame, the scapegoat mindset is real, but there's a difference between selflessness and self-sacrifice, being horrible to yourself for even a percieved slight and feeling worthless and completely unlovable and that you'll die alone because you upset a loved one or they just don't love you back like they used to? that's how bad it can get inside my head. I've had enough therapy to curb a lot of it, but not all of it. Got diagnosed with BPD a few weeks ago, and even though mine isn't as angry and impulsive, it's still a horrible experience at times and it feels like the world is caving in around you, the helplessness is so awful, I KNOW it's self-sabotage, that's why I want to get help and manage my condition better, not just for me, but for those I love who don't like seeing me like this.

[@ohaiadit]

Thank you for this educational video, Psych2Go. I'm married to someone with a clinically-diagnosed BPD and this video accurately explains the behavior patterns she displays. The toughest part for me is when she begins with her "splitting" behavior, usually after we get into a fight. She will then paint me as a "bad person". She would invalidate anything I said to explain myself and would constantly bring up past behaviors of mine to justify her arguments. It hurt, of course, but only later on I began to understand that was just a way for her to build a wall around herself, to protect herself from being hurt. Her therapist told her that her BPD stems from a past trauma; that's something new that I've learned as well. I suppose that's just how it is when you decide to marry someone with BPD: every day you learn something new about it and how to deal with it. Aside from that, however, she is an incredible person. She's very personable, funny, caring, and loving. She has many friends and maintains her social circles actively. It's just that when her BPD self surfaces, it gets very tough for both of us.

The best way to deal with this is to switch off any arguments/insults you receive internally and staying calm. The responses are heavy because the responses are pure emotions of the person you interact with, they will be twisted to fill the narrative. What helps us the best is to hug it out. We have established this beforehand and whenever someone is close to a mental collapse, we stop any discussion and just hug. It gives confidence in each other, it removes a lot of the paranoia and fills up the room with love and care. Do not argue through a breakdown, only argue before or after, when everything is back to normal. The breakdown itself is nothing more than a vent. Just keep everyone save within those moments and things WILL turn to normal. If you need more advice's, feel free to respond on this one. I am married as a bpd to a bpd person for 5 years now. We have gone through probably 50 of those collapse's already, each time better handling it. It is very duable and works when both parties work together on it.

The messed up thing, for anyone living through a relationship like this, you can’t walk away from the maladaptive behavior. They’ll take it as rejection and become worse.

Saying this for the rude people in the back: Just because someone has BPD it doesn’t mean they don’t know when someone they dated was actually toxic or an abuser.

i dated a girl with bpd and this seems very accurate… the yoyo statement is definitely relatable. it wasn’t a good relationship for either of us.. communication was so hard in that relationship

[@MajorasThoughts]

Dating them is hell on earth. Never again.

[@bonillapr]

I have all of the signs of BPD and some of PTSD. I can't be diagnosed yet since I am 18 and my brain hasn't fully developed yet. I have been in treatment for about a year now. Its not easy. I have a loving boyfriend and these are some very real things that can happen in a relationship. They have happened to us, and we are still going strong. Thank you for this video, I will send it to him. ♥

[@salmeleons]

umm you can be diagnosed with that at 18

[@ambiecam6227]

I’ve learned that no matter who I’m with , BPD will be there and that I may be better alone.

[@THENEONARCADE21]

I feel so pathetic. I feel such a complete mess.

[@kimjasmine.]

Same

[@Durmomo0]

Yeah I was dating someone with it and I was struggling with her having it too lol. She was diagnosed and refused to get treatment because "it doesnt work," in her words. I will be honest manipulation, abuse, cheating and also theft at the end. I loved her very much and I tried so hard to keep the family together but it wasnt going to happen. We have a kid together so we have to stay in touch and I do care about her as a person on some level and as the mother of my son but holy shit Im glad im not with her anymore. For us it was horrible. I havent dated in the years since and im still struggling with self worth and depression. I feel like I missed my chance at a family. One thing is it feels like she was *constantly* testing my boundaries and keeping me on edge. Its one thing to have to deal difficult situations but it never ends and I never had peace. Even now it can be a struggle.

[@cadavercakes]

Diagnosed for almost 20 years not being treated currently but years ago this landed me in a mental hospital. Its so hard living with this ...reading these comments make me realize I'm not alone because feeling alone is something I feel often even living with my son and fiance.

[@mehmetresitorak2650]

When i started watching this video i thought she is explaining my ex's behaviors but further watching the video i realised i am the person she is talking about...

[@markmuller7962]

I have a female friend with BPD and I actually like her personality (of course psychology awareness helps in our group)

[@dregorerampin7439]

Yep, might just be.

[@sleeplvss]

this helped me understand my previous partner a little more, hope she’s doing better

[@yousefp3591]

There's no possibility of a loving, constructive relationship when BPD is in play. You either leave your dignity and self-respect, or you leave the person. I guess you can make it work if you're willing to accept toxic behavior, violence, threats, blackmail and jealousy to a sick level. Nobody, and I mean nobody has the right to treat you bad, regardless of what causes it. Just remember you're enabling the behaviour if you decide to stick around.

[@salmeleons]

bro not all of those with bpd do that

@@SomethingInteresting-nw2um I guess encouraging words for the victims made you feel a certain way. Understandable from your perspective.

I’m never t in a relationship now because I believe I have bpd. I feel like no one cares about me, but I know it’s not true. Thank you for posting this video, this helped me.

WHAT!!! This means everyone in the world has BPD , who doesn't feel unsure when things go bad ?

[@yashwanthnaidu897]

Exactly

[@Arbitraryshoe49]

Thanks, although I’ll never get anyone to even consider me as a potential partner, I now know that I definitely have BPD and shouldn’t try dating anyone

[@Psych2go]

I appreciate you sharing your feelings, and it's important to recognize that having BPD doesn't diminish your worth or chances of being in a good relationship. Many individuals with BPD have fulfilling and supportive relationships. Seeking understanding, professional help, and developing coping strategies can make a significant difference. You deserve love, support, and hope on your journey, and there are resources available to assist you.

[@breacarlson2075]

I feel the same way. I haven't dated in years.

[@jeffreychandler8418]

if you date one of these people, be kind but get out for your own sake UNLESS they clearly have learned how to manage it. It's for the best.

[@Khaotic450]

Thank you to those in the comment section who have shared their stories of dating individuals with BPD and those with BPD for sharing their experiences. It feels nice to know I’m not the only person who has been in similar circumstances. My ex has it (and bipolar) and I ended up a shell of my former self after dating her. Knowing that other people have had similar experiences makes me realize I was not going out of my mind and that she gaslit me a lot. Stay safe out there friends and look after yourselves. 🙏🏻

[@marianadobreva_]

I relate to these statements a lot, a frightening lot. (Though not in dating, I haven't dated anyone yet, but these apply to closer friendships) I've always understood it as being sensitive for myself, but I fit the descriptions shown a lot. What should I do? Like, realistically. I've been in therapy for a year and a half due to trauma and still go because of low self esteem and dealings with people I can't manage. I'm afraid to ask my therapist about it. She'll think I'm ridiculous if I mention I got the info from the internet and there's not another way of telling her that could substitute and hold the same weight in reason as just telling the truth 😔

[@-emmathetotaldramafan]

(I know it isn’t easy as it sounds lol but if you can go and ask your therapist this) “also is there any chance I might have borderline personality disorder? I saw a few symptoms I relate to but I want to get properly diagnosed.”

I was not expecting this on my recommendations today! My mom was diagnosed with BPD so that's why I'm surprised if you're wondering.

[@soursweet7044]

I hate when people treat us as monsters though. It makes me feel like I'll never be loved like I've always wanted to be like a fairytale. I hate how life works. Untreated trauma... Insecurities... I wasn't supposed to turn out this way.

Pros of dating someone with BPD You're dating a bunch of ppl

[@SupernovaFishsticks]

That’s not really what BPD is, I think you have it confused with DID 😭

[@lion8254]

met a girl 2 years ago, we became very close over time, and I fell in love, I didn't know she had this disorder until 3 months ago, all my friends and family were screaming at me to leave her, they told me she was toxic, red flag all that, and I listened to them, I scuttled our relationship after 2 years together, and I think I hurt her more than I would have liked, I realised recently (3 weeks ago exactly) that I love her, really, she made me happy and most of the time only thought about my happiness, of course she had this fear of abandonment, but I love her. and tomorrow morning we're going to see each other again and I'm going to try to put the pieces back together, I won't listen to those people who say I should dump her, I love her. thanks that's a great video, as always.
