Title: Introduction and maybe some advice, support Post by: Ladysbridge on June 17, 2019, 02:42:39 PM Hello, I'm new to this space. I suspect that my partner is struggling with BPD. I tend to talk with her well, can calm her down most of the time and I feel she is coping better than she did when I first met her. I really love and care for her. Any advice on self coping would be welcome. I'm a very strong individual and I'm studying psychology out of self interest and to help with coping / talking which has helped enormously. I guess the reason for this post is more of an introduction and maybe some conversation for support and information to improve approaches. I'm ok, I think. Sometimes I'm struggling and worrying though as emotional resources are finite. Thanks for listening and I'm looking forward to engaging on here.
