VI'm "in the middle" of a breakup with what I believe to be a BPD lesbian- it's been 6 months of HELL ON EARTH and this letter has basically given me the confidence to know I haven't imagined it all- it's real... Needless to say, I'm starting my healing process and was absolutely amazed at this letter and the similarities to that which I have experienced. THANK YOU so much- I suspected the illness even after the first "episode"- studied psychology- but I just coudn't/wouldn't let it sink in (true case of knowlegeabel denial!). what an immense help-spent the day reading it/pondering my relationship. merci! susan

As someone with BPD, recovering, I want to thank you for sharing what you lived through. I saw so much of my younger self in your letter, it was painful to read, but it has shed a lot of light on things for me

I just read two segments and I had to quit. The tears flooded my eyes as I read what seemed to be my life. I am trying to get my wife to seek help, but I fear it is too late.

I'm a 23 year old female that has BPD. I have been seeking treatment since I was 11 years old... however I haven't gotten much help. I do completely stupid and crazy things for no apperent reason. I compulsivly lie and abuse the people I love. I am the worst I have ever been. I sleep all day and I lost complete intrest in anything. I devote most of my free time playing clumbo to figure out if my boyfriend is cheating on me or making his life hell. This is really taking it's toll on me and I feel that this could possibily be the end of me.

Dear Chris, many thanks for sharing your insights. Only those who have been close to a BPD can really understand where you have been. I would like to dedicate a couple of words to you personally and all those others that still are or were exposed to BPD. There is a life after you managed to get out. Me myself, I am currently on my way out of the pickle. "Thus I began my new life, in a new name, and with everything new about me. Now that the state of doubt was over, I felt, for many days, like one in a dream... and that a curtain had for ever fallen on my former life. No one has ever raised that curtain since. I have lifted it for a moment, even in this narrative, with a reluctant hand, and dropped it gladly. The remembrance of that life is fraught with so much pain to me, with so much mental suffering and want of hope, that I have never had the courage even to examine how long I was doomed to lead it. Whether it lasted for a year, or more, or less, I do not know. I only know that it was, and ceased to be; and there I leave it." Charles Dickens, from ‘David Copperfield’. Don't forget: there is a life before death! Take care Ralf

I miss my BPD ex and wish I could talk to her today. At the same time, I am incredibly relieved that she is out of my life. Your story helped, so thank you.
