Title: Mental health professionals working with BPD Post by: MrConfusedWithItAll on April 14, 2017, 01:46:27 PM I am currently dating a lead mental health nurse and we were having a discussion about BPD patients. She told me that the area ward looking after BPD patients cannot find enough willing mental health professionals to work on the ward. In fact - they have resorted to offering significant financial incentives to attract nurses to work with these patients. If professionally trained nurses find it difficult to work a five day week on shift with these patients - what makes you think you can sustain a permanent intimate relationship with such individuals? They are seriously ill people: when they have bled you dry they will discard you and move on to the next victim. This is the sad truth.

Even if you have what it takes you might still get rolled over. That being said MrConfusedWuthItAll, where are you going with this? Intimate partners and professionals can’t put up with a pwBPD are you implying that it was all your ex’s fault?
