I am as strong as I need to be. I will stay true to myself, true to my faith. If my partner chooses to destroy a perfectly good union, I cannot stop that destruction anymore. It is not my wish, and not what I wanted for my life & future. But I will survive. Sadly, but surely, I will.
I am notanymore. __________________ It only takes a moment to be kind ~ |

Hi, i just joined & I'm feeling really frustrated about my husbands bipolar disorder. I'm starting to believe my husband is right & that i will never understand his disorder. I almost don't want to understand anymore, but i still love him. I know i don't have the right attitude about how things are going & i just have an overwhelming feeling to get away. Things have went down hill again & my husband has shut me out again. This means we are not communicating & it's killing me inside. Please help before i make an incredibly stupid spure of the moment desicion that I'll surely regret later.

My husband of 7 years just told me he is mentally ill. He has gotten progressively angrier, colder and more explosive over the last year and I knew something wasn't right and now he tells me he has "blackouts" and doesn't remember what he says to me. He threw things at me the other night and broke a chair back right off and it hit me in the head and he says it never happened but then admitted he has these "blackouts" where he has no memory of yelling at me or throwing stuff or asking for a divorce etc etc and I can't stop crying and am at my wit's end. WHAT is WRONG with him? He can be fine and calm but rarely happy, then gets silent and depressed, or he will work his rear end off around the house in a frenzy of activity, then do no activity for days and wants to sleep all the time...WHAT is going on? Can you help?

Hi I'm new here do finding my feet... I'd really like to find a few willing and experienced people caring for and enduring the roller coated of living with a loved one with BPD or other Personality Disorders. I really think it will help to share with someone I can build a rapport with. I don't expect any restrictive commitment just support from people who 'get it'...
Hoping to hear from someone... |

yes I understand . Begin reading walking on eggshells if this is Bpd . If something else get as much info and education on it to deal with this . I had to remove all contact with a sister who has Borderline PD. Sometimes you have to do that for your emotional safety.

Hi ! Living with a man that has antisocial p.d. is no picnic! I love who he is at the core. It is the disorder that isn't so friendly. Lot's of lies about anything, and a seemingly selfish, self absorbed demeanor are only a mask for him. I know he really has a very low self esteem. I remain quiet and must absorb the less appealing parts of him. That is where I pray this site can help me!

GoddessoWind; It's very hard. You may be suffering from PTSD, as it is traumatic to wrap your mind around your ex's personality. Biggest thing, they draw you in. They don't realize they are sick & you suffer. Then they are gone. Leaves you empty & confused. Maybe depressed?

I will keep this short and sweet, but I just need some basic advice. I was dating a man with BPD for over a year. We just got our first place together and things have been really rocky. He just moved out a couple of weeks ago and in with a friend. He has asked to keep his belongings at what was out place along with his animals. I eventually was okay with it, then we hung out a couple of times. Things went well until the second time, when I said something that apparently was triggering to him. He asked for space the next day and long story short, I texted him a few messages because I was having a hard day in general. He finally got all of my messages and chewed me out for invading his space. This is a side of him I have never seen before. He was so extremely hurtful and Angeles towards me. I'm pretty sure he is splitting but it was just awful. I don't know why I am getting the love and then anger. I don't know how to handle this situation. |

I can relate. My b/f has been diagnosed with depression and is on medication, seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. He has had 8 jobs in the past year. He interviews well, but once he gets the job, he gets discouraged and quits after a week or two. Before he was on meds, he was verbally abusive to me and the road rage was terrible. He is much better now, but I cannot take the constant job hopping. He is retired and doesn't need to work, but I need to have him out of the house--when he is here, he micromanages everything I do--from what am I eating for breakfast to what am I wearing to yoga class to when will I be home. It drives me bananas. I spend as little time at home as possible because I cannot stand this. It is suffocating. The latest happened tonight. He was supposed to start a new job tomorrow, and I was so looking forward to having my life back after weeks of having him home. Tonight he announced that he would not go to this job because it's "not what I want to do." I am ready to pack this relationship in, and we've been together 8 years. Advice, anyone?
