I (F23) do not have BPD but my girlfriend (F23) does and I love her. She is more empathetic than anyone I know. Ever since she completed her EMDR and has continued working with her therapist, she is the best person I have ever met. I don't understand why people with BPD are so stigmatized and hated. She is loyal and resilient and creative and intuitive. I feel the need to talk about her because it makes me so angry when I see people post negative things about people with BPD. BPD is a condition literally created out of suffering and agony. Most people with it also have PTSD. People with BPD feel more intensely than anyone else and it is the only psychiatric condition that has self-harm/suicidal ideation as part of the diagnostic criteria. I am so proud of my girlfriend and want her to continue to get better. I'm so happy I am along for her healing journey. For those of you on here struggling, I dont think you are a monster or a bad person. I think you are resillent and you are going to get through this.
