Title: New in town
Post by: josli on October 30, 2014, 06:40:10 PM
Hi there,

It's been about five months since I broke up with my gf (after having recycled 3 times in 3 years). My therapist told me this week he believes she has BPD. So since then I've been reading up voraciously on the subject. I'm feeling a lot more, well, sane... .I had been having a hard couple weeks after inadvertently hearing info about my ex's current life (which re-injured my healing again). Reading through these forums has been helping a lot, although it's a bit overwhelming to take it all in. And it feels like a new loss to process--that all that time I had been trying to interpret her reality by putting myself in her shoes and now learning that we have very different realities indeed... .

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello!
