Loving someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
((ROMANTICALLY OR PLATONICALLY))
1) Tell them whatâs real. Have them tell you whatâs real. Whether itâs the color of their shirt or how much they are needed.
2) Be there. Just be there. For them, or with them. Sometimes the most calming thing can be laying in bed (or on the floor!) with them in silence. Just having another person with them.
3) The little things means everything. The actual idea that you have taken a second to not tell us, but show us will be something we hold onto. (Personal note: someone very special to me sent me a flower gram at school in February for Valentineâs Day, I still have it.)
4) Reassure them constantly that you love them. Keep them in the loop of your life, even if itâs just a text saying you love them or what youâre up to today.
5) They will think youâre angry with them for no obvious reason to you, and then youâll get annoyed that they think that. Donât. Our minds have a way of making us think any and everyone hates us.
6) They will push you away. Theyâre scared. It is nothing against you. Typically, it means theyâre scared of how close youâre getting. This is a great time for hugs (with consent!)
7) They will love you. They feel so deeply and sometimes itâs so, so hard but they will never ever want to be without you.
