Title: He thinks he has BPD Post by: MSNYC on November 07, 2015, 08:53:30 AM We have gone from NC to LC the last couple weeks, after breaking up a couple months ago. When we did break up, I mentioned that he had some really disturbing/scary behavior and calling it "manic" was inaccurate, that I thought maybe those traits were closer to borderline and he should see someone who could help him figure it out and treat it.
Last night I got a text from him saying "I read up on Borderline, and it definitely sounds like me. Crazy." I can't tell if that was sarcastic/self-deprecatory or an honest reckoning, but regardless, that feels really strange to know he's considering he may have the disorder. What happens now? What happens when a pwBPD recognizes that they have it? Or what a partner/ex partner suggests they might?

it is good to see he has some insight. It would be great if he seeks help as BPD can be quite manageable with therapy. I can't tell you "What happens now?". But you can decide what you do next. :) |
