Title: Tips? Post by: uncleflo on March 08, 2023, 09:06:46 AM I'm beyond grateful to have found this forum. In such a short time (and as cheesy as it sounds), I feel like I've found a family I can count on.
Question for the group (including pwBPD):
Thank you for your thoughts or for pointing me in the direction of a post with similar questions as mine. Uncle Title: Re: Tips? Post by: Cat Familiar on March 09, 2023, 11:39:13 AM Take a look at the Tools at the top of this page.

What Does it Take to Be in a Relationship (https://bpdfamily.com/content/what-does-it-take-be-relationship) with a person with BPD? This section stood out to me, as related to your question: Excerpt Preserve Your Emotional Health: The intensity of emotional reactions, and the rage take a toll on even the strongest. Since you cannot escape the natural human impulses to "recoil when raged" upon or "be overly protective" when idealized, it really important to have other outlets / escapes to keep yourself grounded. It's important not to become isolated. It's important to have a significant emotional support system for yourself (e.g., close friends) that goes beyond the relationship.
