Title: Dating partner with mental illness - suicide attempts
Post by: Jillannerose on February 12, 2018, 06:55:05 PM
Dating partner with mental illness.

I am not sure which one other than bipolar 2 rapid cycling or personality disorder.

Ptsd and panic, suicide attempts.

This is the second attempt for therapy for me as a partner. I  do not know the disorder to his personality traits, but after reading I assume it is BPD.

I have a therapist helping me to understand now.

What is going on in your relationship? How is it, day to day?

*welcome*

Welcome! I'm sorry that you've been through so much in your relationship. It sounds like your partner has lots of mood swings. I'd like to second Skip. Could you tell us a little more about what has been going on in your relationship?

Hi Jillannerose,

*welcome*

I just want to say that you're not alone. Many members can relate with you and many also came here at the suggestion of their T ( Therapist )
