Never done this before

[Ro30]

Hi Everyone,

I'm not really sure if I am in the right place. But, I am looking for some support. My partner has very recently been diagnosed with BPD.

We've not been together very long and our relationship is already starting to struggle. Our needs at the moment are different but I don't want this situation to come between us. How can I help him while still looking after myself?

It all came about in Feb when he was hospitalised and only in late June did he get a diagnosis. Its still so new to us both but he's pushing me away and all I want to do is be there for him.

I'd really love some advise or tips on things I could try to help him and our relationship.

Thanks for reading x
