And yet, every relationship and friendship I've ever had have fallen apart in front of my eyes and I can't understand why. I don't have the type of BPD that makes me lash out, or get angry. I have massive mood swings but they go from euphoria to soul crushing sadness. I feel like I have a void in me that cannot be fixed or filled, no matter what I do. Life just feels pointless. So I live for my partner. Which I know to most people would be "unhealthy" and that I'm doing it wrong. But it's the only thing I've found in this world that helps numb that pain.
Edit: Seeing a lot of people come in here talking about exes with borderline. Please don't turn this thread into a reddit "BPD loved ones" space. I know it's a difficult mental illness to understand but I'm begging people to be patient with people like me. It's so common to see us stigmatized and turned into monsters. It hurts.
