Do you know someone with borderline personality disorder?

Question

Hi there. I have bpd and my boyfriend is very supportive and I have been doing dbtherapy. This disorder has been very hard on our relationship. But I have been trying to control my emotions and have been reading up on dbt. But even still there are days when my boyfriend feels like he's walking on eggshells. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any books or online resources that would be beneficial to him? Or have any suggestions or tips for loved ones of those with bpd?

Answer

I know me, so yes. :) My therapist wrote a great DBT book, but I don't know if it's publicly available. Have you read Marsha Linehan's work? She is a little dense, but quite good. I also liked some of the autobiographies I read, like Buddha and the Borderline.

Answer

This was a book they had us read in mental health class, it was written by someone who actually recovered from BPD and it is a really great insight into the disorder.

Answer

Two of my closes friends whom actually don't know each other both have it.  I actually find them easier to handle then anyone else mostly they have always been honest and real unlike most people. They struggle sometimes with it but they always make it through.

Answer

I have it but I told my ol man from the jump and he's very supportive. He's there to hold me when I need him to and gives me my space when I need it. Tell him to read up on it so he'll have a better understanding of it.
