Dating partner with mental illness - suicide attempts

[Jillannerose]

Dating partner with mental illness.

I am not sure which one other than bipolar 2 rapid cycling or personality disorder.

Ptsd and panic, suicide attempts.

This is the second attempt for therapy for me as a partner. I  do not know the disorder to his personality traits, but after reading I assume it is BPD.

I have a therapist helping me to understand now.

Welcome! I'm sorry that you've been through so much in your relationship. It sounds like your partner has lots of mood swings. I'd like to second Skip. Could you tell us a little more about what has been going on in your relationship?
