Today at work, my coworkers/friends caught up, as I havent worked at this store in a while. They knew about my r/s with my BPDpEx. I told them how she had BPD.

My coworker/friend, who i saw the other day with his gf. I did suspect something when I saw her/met her that night.

He told me her gf has it, and how one night he caught her with a knife in the kitchen. But that was a while ago and they are better now. he doesnt know much about BPD, but i did talk to him and if he ever needed to talk or have questions to feel free. And how ive been studying BPD/my past relationship the past few months.

Would you tell a love one who might be in a similar situation about this site?

Yes. I have referred a friend to this site. I feel it helped her . Specifically the boards and it’s many great members. When you read “your story” being posted almost word for word, it’s surreal and shocking but also comforting that you aren’t alone. That “this is my relationship “ moment we all have when we finally find our selves here.

Many of us on here felt our relationships were unique or special. And maybe in some cases they were. But the dysfunction and abuse and codependence and all the other crappy aspects of them were very much text book borderline relationships. The recycling. The out of this world highs and the awful discards were all very similar.

I feel the boards were very helpful in getting me through my lowest points. I think posting on here was also therapeutic for my friend. I don’t know how a person who has BPD would react to this site.

Some people adjusted well or went to therapy or were just stronger emotionally and maybe they didn’t need this site. But for the rest of us who didn’t get out soon enough. Who didn’t dodge the bullet. Who have families with or are family members to a person unfortunate enough to have this disorder this site can be a lifesaver.

Hi CryWolf,

I’d definitely recommend this online support group to someone who was looking for information, support, insight, etc. If the person wasn’t asking for any of that, I might just say that if they ever needed it, I know a good place to go for support.

Absolutely! I have already recommended it to a couple people. One of which I know it helped tremendously.

id personally recommend this site to anyone who is or has been in a dysfunctional romantic or familial relationship. dysfunctional relationships have a lot of universal qualities to them, and the tools i learned here work with everyone.
