Hello everyone,
I have been in a relationship with someone with BPD for 3 years. He was officially diagnosed 1.5 years ago. I am older than him, by 18 years and lately I feel more like a parent than a partner. So much of my life is revolving around him and making sure that he gets the help he needs. He is very open for support and will do any treatment that I find for him, however I then get the brunt of his frustration. I have been doing a lot more research on the condition and trying my best to help. He is having a crisis right now and I know that I am not at fault, I know I can’t fix him or control how he feels. I just don’t know how to manage my own mental health. Just looking for advice on how other people handle everything.
