She has been through a lot… from rape to torture to abuse in general. When she isn’t out of control she is very sweet and loving and caring. But I’m beginning to really wish we weren’t together. I laid it down to her that I wasn’t taking it anymore that she could treat me right or I’d leave her and find someone who would. I’m a therapist and dated two women with BPD.

Hi, just thought I’d drop you a quick line. I’ll obviously never understand the extent or exhaustion you most go through with BPD. I do however understand feelings and emotions, depression, anxiety and emptyness.

As a result, people with BPD may quickly go from idealization to devaluation—or thinking that their partner is a horrible person. Many people are initially drawn to people with BPD precisely because they have intense emotions and a strong desire for intimacy. These emotions may result in frantic efforts to avoid abandonment, such as pleading, public scenes, and even physically preventing the other person from leaving. You’ll do anything to keep it away, and because of this, it can become quite an addictive feeling to be around the person you love. Having such strong emotions make people with BPD incredibly empathetic, and because of this we find it easy to connect with people on an emotional level quickly. People with BPD, even in their happiest periods, experience this pervasive feeling of emptiness almost every day, and often they try and fill this with things that stimulate them.
