Title: Re: Feeling helpless watching BPD loved one spiral out of control Post by: Lady Itone on March 26, 2018, 07:07:17 PM I hear that. I gave my gf so much energy, I tried so hard. She still ended up self-harming, in psyche ward many times, and currently is in a group home for mentally ill/ recovering addicts.
Want to throw out some details? Sometimes helps to just lay it down and look at it... . Title: Re: Feeling helpless watching BPD loved one spiral out of control Post by: Mutt on March 26, 2018, 08:42:12 PM Hi RayTime34,
