Just so frustrating... .
I am sure she will try to come back in a very subtle way. not sure if I want to continue this roller coaster ride... .
We have had so many break ups... .she blocks me and disappears for weeks on end. in May the month of my birthday for 18 days, last month for 35... she came  back made plans to do a run with me in 2 weeks and put in for a cruise for us. and 2 days later she broke up with me again over the fact that I wanted to communicate.
I am blocked again... .
she is already on a paid dating site looking for someone else.
She is diagnosed for Bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD and I really am seeing severe BPD traits. she is a hot mess. but acts normal, is charming, funny, sexy and sweet.
She refuses to take meds and self medicates with nicotine (a vape) I think she drinks a lot and does some marijuana too, which is fine. I don't I am an athlete who hikes and runs and eats very healthy.
I am so confused and EXHAUSTED from being on this roller coaster ride from hell. I am 52 and solid, stable and an absolute wreck.
what in Gawds name should I do. I am ill equipped I believe to continue this. I have a feeling she will try to come back.
Thank you

Apex,

I wish I could offer some profound and helpful advice - I can't.  All I can say is I entirely understand your situation as it mirrors mine.

I am addicted to the attention, the sex, the fun times... .
the quiet is deafening... .
Why all go]f a sudden and she already active on a dating site... which was paid for... .
Crazymaking. our run, our trip... .
I know there is no answer if I ask why?
But she seems so normal. loves her job, is a superstar there... .
why am I thrown away again?
supposedly I was the best thing that ever happened to her... .
so so frustrating!
I am such a grounded person.
I feel like a freak
I want her back
all these write ups make so much sense  I just cannot make peace with the fact that besides being bipolar and having PTSD and OCD she also have borderline personality disorder and I am so creeped out.
she seems so normal.

Welcome

I think that most of us here started by asking "why?" In fact, I think that's how most of us ended up on these boards. It's natural to try to understand when our lives are turned upside-down.

Many of us have also made the statement, "But, she seems so normal to everyone else" or the like. That's because people who are not intimately close to someone who suffers from BPD do not trigger their intense emotions.

I just cannot make peace with the fact that besides being bipolar and having PTSD and OCD she also have borderline personality disorder

It's possible that it isn't an "also." It is possible that she's been misdiagnosed. But, the actual label is not as important as the fact that she has traits that you can recognize. This really isn't a bad thing though unless you make it out to be. Understanding the traits allows you to make an informed decision. You can choose to walk away, or you can choose to learn to do things differently so as to work within the parameters that come with her.

In the sidebar to the right, there are some great links to help you get started on working within those parameters.
