Title: I think my spouse has BPD Post by: catklaus on June 30, 2017, 12:28:19 PM I learned of BPD recently - someone gave me a book called "Walking on Eggshells" - I was immediately drawn to the situations in the book - now reading/watching the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde video - it appears even more clearly of what is going on. The video was like looking into my home and watching what is going on. I am tired and have had thoughts of "I can't keep doing this to myself" and it seems no conversation helps.
End of rope - but still have hope Catklaus Title: Re: I think my spouse has BPD Post by: Mutt on July 01, 2017, 10:46:01 AM Hi catlaus,
*welcome* I'd like to welcome you to bpdfamily. I'm that you found that the video helpful in answering questions for you that you probably has going on for a long time. Why does she act this way? What did I do to trigger this response with her? When are things going to get better? I'd suggest to read as much as you can about the disorder, it's really helpful in a couple of ways. It helps normalize the behaviours, make sure that you read from trusted sources with accredited medical information. It will also help you with deoersonalizing the behaviours. When your spouse turns into the Mr Hyde persona, it's not personal to you, it's maladaptive coping mechanisms that protects the ego from anxiety and stress. It's something that your pwBPD is going through. What prompted you to watch the video? Is there something specific that brought you here? How long have you been together? Do you have kids? |
