    I’m in a relationship with someone with BPD... she is amazing... I have to be patient and love her unconditionally... she finds it hard to open up but I know she loves me. I always stay positive and keep ensuring her that I’m here to stay and I’m going no where.... one thing I noticed that helps is letting her know the potential of our future together and see things grow... I know everyday isn’t going to be easy... but if you truly love them you will be patient and show them. Not everyone loves the way we are expected to. She is kind and sweet even though she sometimes puts up a hard exterior but I can see through that because I take the time to understand her condition and how to read her moods. So thank you For making these videos... it really helps both those who suffer from BPD and those who love someone who suffers from it.

      My BPD ex was like that too. Sweet, kind., Looking after people. She voved she loved me. Dude, it is a facade! Maybe she truly feels that way now but it can all change over a month. You are lovebombed but will end up sad and wondering what the hell happened. Do yourself a favor and get out. Save your precious love to someone who is going to support you and stay by you

      Funny story: I got a degree in aerospace engineering (aka rocket science) because I thought it would make me feel amazing and proud of myself, and I thought I would finally accept myself. Well I found out afterwards that none of those things happened. I still felt shit about myself, I felt worthless, and I still didn't accept myself. And no one else around me really cared that I got an amazing degree either. Also I have BPD. My advice for others, if you think a degree or any other external accomplishment is gonna make you feel better. Think twice. True self worth, self love, and self acceptance can only come from within, so do seek it from within yourself. Stay strong.

    My girlfriend for 3 years broke up with me a few months back, and it definitely is the hardest thing Ive ever gone through. I've since realised that i cannot rely on one person for my happiness or plan my entire life and all my dreams around someone besides myself, because once she dumped me then my entire life plan was shattered. And that was scary as shit. But definitely don't smother someone in a relationship, I definitely broke her down mentally over time to the point where all she could think about was my well-being. Which destroyed her, really. And then i ended up losing the person who meant the most to me. I dunno if anyone read this whole thing, but if you are someone going through difficulties with relationships then I for sure recommend that you are able to take care of yourself and your own happiness and that you learn to not depend on others to that degree. I wish I knew that a year ago.

She doesn’t want me back in her life as a bf but she’s terrified loosing me completely , I’m stuck in a limbo of being pulled back each time i walk away , I am sticking around but at the same time living my life. If I fall in love with someone else then this is my faith

      @@stefanbelan5209 in 2017 I've a 8 month relationship with BPD-bipolar. First love bombing, then push pull and silent treatment, at the end the waste. At the time I didn't know what the BPD was, so I was very confused, disappointed and has a lot of pain. Then I started thinking about every single thing that happened and studying so I understood that my ex gf had the BPD. At that moment everyting started to be clear and I realize that those people are not able to love. Two months ago she came back saying she wants lo live happily with me. Resisting was very difficult but now I know her too well and I couldn't trust her anymore. A BPD woman can really ruin a man's life. No contact is the only solution: leave your ex gf to her destiny. These people can not be helped. You must think about your life and save yourself. I know it's hard.

      I was dumped by my BPD girlfriend for the last time in November. She played in all on me because of my problems and because I didn't want to have kids with her and because I was "too organized ". She even blamed me for drowning her in love and tenderness as if I had somehow manipulated her into the relationship. She said I was a such a good man and deserved better and that she could NOT feel anything and could not be in a relationship as she must treat herself in therapy. One week later she met some guy and started dating again. She told me this and how this guy was so much more suitable for her. She said she only loved me as a resource for safety and support. I feel like I am nothing. Hell ..I divorced 3.5yrs ago and that was devastating to my world view. Now it is not as bad but it is not much less worse. Luckily I have a son and a career and we are going to have an awesome life and no crazy bitch will ever come between us.

    i am currently in a relationship and I've been researching BPD and although I am not diagnosed, and I know researching it is the worst thing, I do feel like there is something going on with myself that is destroying my relationship. My personality is too intense for the person I am with and I am scared that he is eventually going to break up with me. I'm pushing him to his limit. I am always so angry with him. Every single day. I know deep down that it's not normal but in the moment it feels so justified. And once I am angry at him, I will stay angry for an hour over whatever small thing it is. The truth is, he doesn't do anything wrong. I just see so many things that I feel are wrong. It's very confusing and frustrating. He always tells me there's something mentally wrong with me. I really don't want him to leave me as much as I feel like I hate him sometimes.

    • @TheGreenupTime
      @TheGreenupTime Před 5 lety +3

      Wow, you spoke for me. I feel smothered by his love and affection. I analyze his affection as immature or adolescent even as fake. Like if I can't feel that much love towards someone, how can they. I love him but don't feel the need to express it as much as him so it must be fake or forced by him. He's a caring person and a caring husband and very mooshy. His constant need for my attention is annoying to me. I feel bad so often. I'm always trying to change him to be less affectionate. I hate myself so often for the way I judge him. I hate that I push his affection away so much. I know when it's gone, I will miss it. He doesn't try to work with me like other people have mentioned in the comments. He will do the same things over and over again that annoy the crap out of me then tell me I should like it there fore there is something mentally wrong with me. I try to explain and I take blame but it just doesn't register with him so he will continue to force me to put up with some of his adolescent behavior or constant need of affection. I meet him half way because I have to make changes too to accept him for his ways but he won't do the same for me. In turn this problem has me constantly feeling like a horrible person.

    Yes l love the idea of you doing a documentary and letting everyone from all over add their feelings and thoughts and experiences, especially because seeing everyone is their own individual person, that means their traits of BPD can be different than what others experience so it really helps others with BPD and non BPD spouses,friends,family members etc. to hear and be able to take good and helpful information and be more understanding and helpful.

    Thank you so much for this video! I struggle with being afraid my boyfriend is going to leave me, too. Mainly because when I get down on myself I just don't get how he could love me or want to stay with me. IT's hard though because when I get thoughts like he may be cheating on me, I truly believe it. And where I'm highly intuitive sometimes it gets really hard to specify truth from lies. In all actuality, I know that he loves me and that he would never cheat on me or leave me. So why do I keep fighting this same battle? The thing for me right now is we are going to be working complete opposite shifts & we're not going to see eachother as much. That scares me so much. But I know that it's best for me to stay at the job I'm at and him with his. We are working together towards future goals. Things really are good. I just wish I didn't stress over irrelevant shit all the time.

I constantly feel like I’m doing or saying the wrong thing and I’m gonna push him away and make him leave me. I need so much attention. And when I don’t get it, I feel very angry and betrayed and hurt. I don’t know what to do. It’s so hard for me to tell if my concerns are legitimate or if they’re BPD thoughts.

Now that I know her condition I actually love her unconditionally but I don't know if she's coming back. So it kind of makes you wonder. It's like if somebody has BPD you can't love them enough but if you love them the way that they've always wanted then they get afraid that they're going to lose you and abandon you before you can abandon them.

I've had long hair, short hair, shaved head.. plus I used to have multiple piercings but now I don't want any. It's like I can't figure out what my style is. I used to wear nothing but black clothes but now I wear whatever feels comfortable and looks "ok".

My ex committed work comp fraud, drive without insurance, wanted me to drop my health insurance.. and told me my love was conditional for disagreeing with her decisions.. and more, that was just the beginning. Her son is now in prison with a $60,000 cash bail. They will convince you to love them unconditionally… and drag you i to their bad decisions. While leaving you feeling guilty because you think you need to love them unconditionally. It’s truly mind bending.

    I don't trust anyone enough to actually get into a relationship, though I want nothing more than to have a relationship again. Does this seem to be part of bpd or something else? Not trashing anyone because I haven't been a fan of safe sex when I was with someone. Also I'm a quiet bpd, so maybe that is part of just being quiet? Also great video, thank you.

    Both myself and my fiancee have traits of this condition and have been together 20 years now. When I try to relate with people who don't have depression or BPD or some other condition, though, I feel a total emotional disconnect from them. I can't relate with people who don't feel the intense pain or anger I sometimes feel -- or who don't go into those powerful moments of feeling anxiety and doom. I don't know their world and they don't know mine -- I can see by their faces during the rare times I refer to it that they don't 'get it'.

    I have bpd and can honestly say I have attracted guys who use me, and since borderlines always feel not good enough, it’s easy to be lead in and think we’re loved just so we can be used. It’s hard to find someone who loves you for who you are and not what they can just use.. but I feel more vulnerable to “users” because I’m scared theyll leave and I need someone and it’s all just very very toxic and messy and I wish I didn’t need anyone

    Im 52 and actually never heard of BPD until about 5 yrs ago a doctor explained it to me. Finally a correct diagnosis ! I have done time in prison, im extremely violent and crazy. Funny thing is people love me. Girls have always been interested so I have had like 22 girlfriends in all my years. Never married and no kids. I pick girls that are as crazy as me and we have passionate short relationships until one of us almost kills each other. I wouldn't wish this kind of life on anybody. This BPD goes back to about time I turned 15. I was horrible. Its a bad life. Just beware !

    I’m in a real with someone who has BPD and I’ve noticed that since I moved in with her, she’s gotten closer to one of her friends (platonically) and she has been more of treating me like I don’t exist. I’m not sure if this is something that I’m just supposed to let run its course or talk to her. I’ve tried telling her, and she basically told me that she wants me around but she copes by getting lost in someone else’s life because she can stand her own. (She has BPD, depression, anxiety, onset agoraphobia, suicidal tendencies, etc... also she sees and psychiatrist and therapist.)
    I just don’t know how to handle these areas while allowing her to feel like she’s in a safe place for me to talk to her.

    because he’s graduating this summer but really i never said anything against it because i love him and i want to be there for him and he told me to not texting him or anything cause i’d just make it worse but i reallyyy miss him and i want to spend my life with him, i’ve known him for almot 7 years and we’ve been in a relationship for 3 years always had our ups and downs but i never stopped caring for him or loving him and now that we broke up it’s been 2 weeks he’s following so many other girls and is texting them all the time (one of them told me) and i don’t know what to do cause i really want him back. any advice?

    Although I have BPD, I have been marri d for more than 25 years. I can see where the BPD has made life not as good as it could have or should have been. My wife deserves a medal and a free pass into Heaven for being married to a BPD man. I have never cheated nor would I ever. My issue is not so much abandonment as at tim s imparting motives that aren't even there. Like a typical BPD, I find trust very difficult at times even with a women who has never ever done anything wrong. Working on it. Not easy. I had a BPD mother who was prone to insane rage and sadistic abuse for no reason. Doing my best not to be that person.

      You need to understand what you are doing to the other person, that is the key to understanding and changing your BPD traits to a lesser version of themselves. People who dont have BPD often understand completely what is going on. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is the key to modifying BPD, as well as methylation protocols

Not the negative side so much, cause of course that’s there...but mAybe a place where ones that have been “split”into the black category, but would like to express how much the person they lost meant to them.

      @ReaverXXI Před 6 lety

      I'm probably way too late, but I wanna try anyway. If you still haven't told him, please do as fast as you can. Not knowing what is happening is the worst. It won't be easy to work through all the things that are attached to this, but you can only stop the worst from happening by doing something. The longer you wait, the more, from what I read and heard, you will push him away anyway. So having a real conversation about it and opening up about what you're going through, will most likely help him understand. Even if he'll have a sarcastic remark his love for you won't just do a 180° just because he knows. You'll have to trust him enough that he can handle the truth.
