When I was diagnosed with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder earlier this year, I learnt it was the same as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The psychiatrist said it was quite unusual to be in a long term relationship as I had been married for 12 years. I think he meant that as a compliment, but I… Continue reading Your relationships if you have borderline personality disorder aren’t doomed just because you read it!
