Relationships with BPD

[pimpcarti]

Hi, I was recently diagnosed with BPD and bipolar disorder. I have a boyfriend who is my “favorite person” and I am struggling to show my true intentions and how i love him so much. Showing compassion and affection is really hard for me unless it is in unhealthy ways. i always start an argument or lash out on petty things. any advice to make our relationship stronger while i am struggling with these things? 

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Thanks for writing in and good for you being aware and seeking help.

This site is for family members and relationship partners of BPD sufferers. This is where we learn to support our loved ones, and where we learn to take care of ourselves. Because of this, we do not have the resources to help individuals with BPD, but I encourage you to check out Resources for BPD Sufferers. https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/Themes/default/welcome3.html

 You will find links to more appropriate forums, where you will find others like yourself who were brave enough to have taken positive steps towards healing.

I wish you all the best in your healing process.
