Title: Not yet diagnosed Post by: new deal now on December 19, 2016, 05:44:57 PM My spouse has not yet been diagnosed but has for several years exhibited BPD . I had no idea it existed but a counselor listened to my description of his behavior and suggested I do some reading on BPD.
Sure sounds like him. I need help in navigating the holidays and long car ride to visit my family. I dread the time alone in the car. Due to a recent blow up I had told him I was going to go without him. Not sure this is best approach.

The tools and lessons to the right of this page are to help guide you into being able to do just that. They take practice and patience to learn and implement, but using them can help improve your situation. How long have you all been married? Any children?
