Quote from “Back from the Edge” Documentary
The mother of one of the young women with BPD says this: “What really helped me was when I realized that it wasn’t about me, that I wasn’t necessarily what she was angry at and the target of it, that I was just there to be somebody that she could vent all of this feeling that was about something else.” (at 39:30 in the documentary). This is the very thing that helped me too – and lead to the “it’s all about his/her feelings” thing that I wrote about in WHINE. Watch the documentary. No related posts.

Breaking the news of the diagnosis to a partner
I just recently found out that I have Borderline Personality Disorder, which would explain, well, just about everything. I haven’t told this to my boyfriend yet.
