Yeah, I mention it because my lack of expertise and probable bias make the evaluation suspect.
Thank you. This is encouraging.
I suspect that we turn to BPD types partly to cover our own deficiencies.
This rings true.
I also recently left a relationship with a girl with borderline personality disorder (my diagnosis, not professionally diagnosed). I love her. As scientism put it:
I’m young and inexperienced in love. I’m worried that it was her BPD that made her so enchanting—she was so present, so spontaneous and radiant. I had the best times of my life with her.
Can others who have been with BPD types and then had relationships afterwards tell me: do you find love as intense as that again? Do you have the best times of your life with someone without also having the worst?
