from BPD Diaries: Stories and Science · host Stephanie Schildknecht
You love someone with BPD. But some nights, you lie awake wondering:• Do they actually love me?• Am I codependent or just a caring person?• Is this BPD or emotional abuse?• Should I stay or should I leave?• Why do they threaten suicide when I try to leave, and what do I actually do?These are some the questions partners, parents, and friends of people with BPD ask. Often with guilt. Often with exhaustion. Often without anyone giving them a straight answer.This episode answers some of the most common questions from loved ones. Not with easy answers, but with honesty and compassion for both sides.If you've ever felt like you're losing yourself while loving someone with BPD, this one is for you.[This is the second episode in my BPD Awareness Month series.
