Can people with bpd have normal relationships?

Question

I ask this because I have bpd and people try to tell me that I could never be in a healthy relationship and that hurts obviously and I hope it's not true.

Answer

Whose relationship is normal really? No one I know.

Yes, people with a wide range of mental illness can have healthy loving relationships. It just might  take some extra care to keep things together.

Answer

Yes they can. My fiancés mother is bipolar and she's been married for 20 years. You just have to have someone who will be patient with it even when you're on meds.

Answer

Happily married right now and living with the condition. You need a partner who understands and wants to help, knows the triggers and how to pull you out of it. Knows when to give you a kick up the butt and when to just let you wallow, ensuring you're fed and hydrated. These people do not understand bpd

Answer

Borderline or bipolar? Because I'm borderline, and after going through 8 months of therapy, I have no issues being in a healthy, emotionally safe relationship. Before therapy though, I couldn't maintain a relationship to save my life, because I was just too broken. That's just my story, though, YMMV.

Answer

Yes!! My aunt has severe bpd but as soon as she started taking her meds without missing them, and going to all of her appointments, her whole life changed. She is now in loving, fulfilling marriage with a great guy, and she has a won6career as an RN.

Answer

My husband has BPD. If someone loves you, it doesn't matter what happens or what they have to deal with - they will do everything they can to make sure that you're loved and will learn about who you are and what your triggers are. Love is learning and adapting and never giving up. 
All relationships have ups and downs and who's to say what is healthy? Find someone who is willing to LEARN you and treat you the way you need to be despite that. YOU ARE NOT BPD, BPD DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. 
You're unique and different and someone worthy of love ☺️

Answer

My girlfriend is bipolar and the doctors believe she has BPD. You can have a relationship and a successful one, it's hard but it can work. I went into the relationship understanding she has rapid and dramatic mood changes and that it's something I have to be sure I can handle. I met her when she was planning on committting suicide, I was too. We saved each other, I'm not saying it's all fairy tales, because it's not. We have been dating for seven months and I still am in love with her as the day I met her. You can have relationship you will have to put more work in it, but you will find someone.

Answer

Who's to say what 'normal' is? I believe every is capable of having a healthy relationship as long as you're both willing to put in the work and commit to each other. Of course, things will play a part in your relationship but it all depends on how much effort you're willing to put into it.

Answer

You just need to find the right person to work with it, rather than against it. There's someone for everyone out there.

Answer

My husband is bipolar. Best relationship I've ever been in.
