Title: Trying to learn to cope
Post by: lovingwithbpd on September 26, 2019, 08:38:54 PM
I think my husband may have bpd. He’s not been diagnosed but in my reading and research meets at least 6 of the criteria.
We’ve been married for 12 years and It’s getting harder for me to maintain my mental health and well being. Looking for advice and support from others coping with similar situations

Hi and welcome! Read as many stories here. Share as much as you feel comfortable and comment if you have some insight or questions.

I recommend three books:

Stop Walking on Eggshells
Stop Caretaking the Borderline or Narcissist  
I Hate You, Don’t Leave Me

The first two are available on audio format but I have not been able to find the third on audio.

You are among friends here and you will find a tremendous amount of support.

*welcome*

Let me join ColdKnight in welcoming you.  You've found a supportive place where you can learn coping skills that will directly benefit your own mental health.  Can you tell us more about the behaviors of your husband that are the most difficult for you?
