Partner has BPD

[Nathan27]

Hi there, I am currently in a relationship with a guy who is suffering from BDP. I feel a lot of emotions, frustration, tiredness, anger but most of all loneliness. I am quite a strong willed independent guy who can cope with a lot that comes my way. I am finding it difficult as I want to help him, but I dont know how and I dont have anyone in my life I can talk to about this. So Im looking for support so I can be better at seeing key indicators about how to deal with what my partner is going through.
Thanks in advance

Nathan27, welcome. You're in the right place! I've learned so much from others here. I feel stronger and have more clarity about how to set boundaries and truly help, and I hope we can do that for you, too. 

It sounds like there is a diagnosis, is that right? Is your partner seeking help? Do you feel it's effective?

Would you like to share something that's happened recently and talk through the layers of it?

We're here.
