    If you've stayed in an unhappy relationship for fear leaving will hurt an emotionally fragile partner, breaking up will require a plan and clear boundaries for how you'll protect yourself from threats, pleas and the ways THEY act out on fears of abandonment. In this video I answer a letter from a woman ready to end her relationship with a partner with Borderline Personality Disorder, who fears his trauma-driven reactions will keep them both stuck.

    Seven years ago, I broke up with a BPD person and all hell broke loose - he would stalk on me, threaten me, and bother me in every possible way for the following couple of months - until I finally went to the police and asked for help. It was by far the worst experience of my life. What helped me was standing my ground on my decision to leave, not giving into any of his provocations, taking necessary safety precautions, and a whole lot of support from my friends and family. If you're in a relationship with a BPD person and you're contemplating leaving - most probably, you already know that's the right thing to do. But please make sure you're very careful and ask for external help and support. There's light on the other side of it, I promise you.

    Anna, I feel as though every video on this channel is speaking directly to me. I empathise with both people in this relationship because I was the one with BPD and CPTSD, but my partner also had a traumatised childhood. In fact, I think he has CPTSD himself.
    BPD is an awful way to live because you know you’re acting crazy, but the emotions you feel are unbearable. You end up lashing out at every perceived slight and hint of abandonment. The two of us were mired in a toxic stew for 20 years until he ended it.
    From my perspective, there is no kind way to end a relationship with a borderline. No matter how it’s done, it will hurt like hell, but that’s not her responsibility. She needs to pull off the bandage and go. I threatened suicide and even attempted it once. That said, he also treated me with such cruelty at times, it makes me shudder to think of it now.
    As someone who has come out on the other side of a troubled and toxic relationship, I can say with confidence that there IS a better life ahead. I’m actually grateful that my ex ended it because now I can work on my healing. He hasn’t taken any steps to do the same, but that is his road to walk. No one can fix someone else.

      Me too, I feel for both of them. My father had severe BPD (before the label was even invented), my mother has always been emotionally cold, not comforting me as a child, anyway, I too have received the BPD diagnosis. I recognise the manipulative, desperate behaviour when faced with abandonment. As a result I find it less painful and frightening to be alone in life. Surely it's the only rational decision. That way I spare not only the other person from my moods, but my moods are calmer as a result.. Some people are just not made for relationships

I think another borderline is the only person who truly “gets it.” To the world, your emotional volatility looks insane. I have destroyed and damaged so many relationships in my life. I did do DBT and CBT, which helped me a lot, but I have to be constantly vigilant so that I don’t slip up. I’m not sure the abandonment fears and attachment wounds ever truly disappear. I’m doing Anna’s courses because I want and need to do more healing, but I agree that maybe there are some of us who are better off alone. Much love to you. ❤️

    I ended a long close friendship with a coworker just before the pandemic hit. He never told me he had BPD, but over the years he’s given me all the information I needed to know that’s what he’s being treated for. And I didn’t realize until it was time to walk away how unhealthy my attachment to him was… and STILL IS. Two years later I’m back in the office and I’m trying to detach from him but that part of me is still paying close attention to the tone of his voice from across the room, sensing his mood, keeping track of how much he’s talking to other people, being aware of whether or not he’s eating. I’m still emotionally attached to him and trying to take care of him even though I thought I was done. And even though he hurt me and was abusive to me, I still care about him and want him to get well… and one look at him after being apart for two years told me he is drinking himself to death and a part of me died inside knowing he’s hurting.
    Codependency is TERRIBLE. I would do anything to get rid of it. I’m so envious of people who can’t understand why I feel like this.

      It's fear. He likely equates love with immediate or eventual loss. And he can't bear the pain. It's expressed with anger because it keeps him from looking vulnerable. The anger isn't about you and he's misdirecting.
      I'm not condoning or advocating for his behavior at all, just explaining what I think it is. What you say about him wanting love and then not wanting it, is big time push pull. The book, I Hate You Don't Leave Me may help you understand more if you want to.
      That being said, I'm not saying to learn to understand it so you can hang out or be with him. Just that it might help you recover from your pain a little bit more. After dating someone that was very narcissistic, for a couple years, it helped me in my healing to read about it and understand how they 'work.' I wasn't working with him though, thankfully. And then I also needed and still working, to look at my own behaviors and traits too.

    Howdy hi hi Ms Fairy.
    My one and only experience interacting with a person with BPD was absolutely horrible. She was only a neighbor renting a room in this shared house. It is now 45 days out from her eviction and removal by sheriff's deputies. And while I love that the house is so quiet now by comparison. There is still an expectation that a sudden explosion of rage is going to pop up at any moment. I can't imagine how hard it would be to have a romantic relationship with such a person.

      Sounds horrible. I've primarily encountered NPDs. And one ASPD. My single parent mother has for my entire life been a highly functional alcoholic. So more of a Dr. Jekyll and Ms Hyde kind of deal. But I am convinced that this conditioned myself and my sister to see these behaviors as normal. Impacting greatly our relationships throughout our lives.
      It was only when my sisters cNPD husband contributed greatly to her demise and then targeted me. That I finally recognized that there was something seriously wrong. And then started to research this stuff. I had a sense that something was wrong for many years. But I blamed my health issues. Ocular migraines, thinking that I was just too easily angered.
      That was seven years ago this past February. Now I deal with the guilt of having had the intellect, internet access, and evidence to have realized how serious thing were for many years. It's also very frustrating realizing how little so many people know or understand about this topic. And worse still how little they want to understand.

    I love it how Anna gives practical steps to action something. I also thought it was really helpful to remember that the reaction of the writers partner is them being triggered by their past stuff, rather than it being all about you. When you can remind yourself of that you are also reminding yourself that you can't fix that original trauma, so the hottest parts of the emotion you see has nothing to do with you. Thanks Anna, that was helpful in so many levels 💐 x

    After breaking up with someone I dated for 2 weeks, I endured months of fear for myself and worry about him. His reaction to our breakup were vague threats to hurt himself, and any time I showed him kindness (out of concern) I had to endure hoover/lovebombing attempts, and then anger when it didn’t work. It was a terrifying rollercoaster until I finally cut contact. I had to make peace with the idea that he may hurt himself and blame me. It was not easy.
    I am so thankful I saw the red flags and decided to end it quickly. I cannot imagine the drama I would have had to deal with if it had become something serious.

    All of your videos seem to be speaking directly to me. Cptsd is a hard thing to inherit and learn to live with. I get so angry with my parents for not thinking of anyone but themselves during my (and my sister's) formative years that it's difficult to have a relationship with them sometimes. People with good parents that loved them properly, supported them emotionally and provided the tools necessary to be successful would NEVER understand how lucky they are. I envy people who had that in their youth. I'll soon be 53 years old and still struggling to find healing and normalcy.

    If the relationship is jeopardizing your mental health, then break up with them. They are an adult and they are in charge of taking care of their mental health. I was diagnosed with BPD at 17 and at 19 with Asperger's syndrome. BPD is a trauma related induced disorder. Not getting a proper diagnosis as a child and getting diagnosed later in life is pretty traumatizing. My mother had mental illness and addiction issues and wasn't around for me growing up, and blames her absence on my Dad. I understand that she was sick and didn't have the tools to take care of me. My dad did the best he can as a single parent. Being a parent isn't easy let alone a single parent. If someone has BPD doing DBT is beneficial to managing BPD symptoms. I have taken DBT and it has made coping with life so much easier. I find at 31 my mental disorder is easier because I am loving and accepting myself as I am.

    I don’t usually post negative comments, but feel that I need to mention a couple of points here:
    1) BPD is not hard to treat. With treatments such as DBT and Schema Therapy, the prognosis for people with BPD is pretty good. Research shows that with DBT alone, 77% of patients are able to reduce their DBT traits to the point where they no longer meet the DSM criteria of BPD.
    2) People with BPD did not choose to have BPD. It is a result of both nature and nurture. That’s not to say people with BPD don’t have the agency to seek treatment. Saying BPD can be very hard to treat, or painting an extreme case of BPD here can be distressing for people who may have BPD traits, and worrying for people who think they may be dealing with someone with BPD.

    In my opinion BPD and cPTSD are not different from each other. You said they are distinct, but provided no good reasons for this. The DSM isn't very reliable. Our scientific advancements in understanding trauma show the symptoms of BPD can all be explained as trauma reactions and resultant coping behaviours, plain and simple. BPD is an unhelpful (and often harmful in its stigma) diagnosis and I'd love for the professional mental health class to move beyond it someday. But the DSM still reigns supreme. I know this is ancillary to the main point of the video, but this is a pet peeve of mine. Thanks for the video!

    Recently I ended two very new friendships with women my own age. They aren't aquatinted with one another. They were rude demanding and into things that I never do. And although I'm white, for them not white enough. Separately they bullied me and lashed out at me to embarrass me publicly. Throughout I think I handled myself well. I went no contact. Discussing things with them would only create the drama they crave. After nearly two months I received a letter of apology. What she was apologizing for she didn't say. I didn't respond. The other came to my door. I didn't open the door and called out it's not a good time. She sounded thrown off and said but are you ok? Took her a month and a half to wonder if I'm ok? I cheerfully said I'm fine. She followed up with a text saying she hopes she didn't bother me but only wanted to know if I'm ok.
    I didn't respond. And that's the only way to get rid of the problem. Quietly close the door and walk away.

    Thanks Anna for mentioning about the suicide threat, I had two wives that both threatened to kill themselves if the couldn't have me (one ran out in front of 18 wheeler to prove she meant it). When this happened with a 3rd partner I took her to the psych ward thinking she would admit her bluff. She was admitted a number of days, and I was the only ticket out, at least she wasn't bluffing, it does happen. I'm glad I took the threat serious, we have since learned she had both high functioning autism and BPD. BPD has the highest suicide rate of any personality disorder, but when autism is factored in the likelihood increases 6 fold, and on top of that her ACE score is 6. I'm 67 at this point and after 23 years we learned to manage it..

      @smileyface702 2 года назад +5

      Personality disorders are made up systems for categorising people that happen to carry a lot of stigma. It's my opinion that cPTSD/developmental trauma and BPD are the same thing. I wouldn't get too caught up on label, but knowing what I know now about trauma, I think the diagnosis of BPD is uneccessary, unhelpful, and sometimes harmful (stigma of people with BPD being "evil", untreatable, that this is some unchangeable facet of your personality, etc). I would recommend The Body Keeps the Score for a deeper understanding of the science behind trauma and a hopeful look at the interventions that might actually help.

I've worked hard on myself as of late and let her know she can give me some hard truths if she needs too but she still isn't. So I can't let her go. I've said I want her back and am planning to eventually move to her and start again and she said she needs time to think. Fine.

      True, and yet this community LOVES doing exactly the same thing to people with narcissism (which is also a mental illness, as is CPTSD and BPD) - they love calling people 'narcs' as tho it excuses their neediness, unreasonableness, delusion and entitled behavior. It's especially prominent in videos about limerence or sponging off their elderly parents they claim are abusive - they take zero responsibility and just label everyone 'my narc ex / my narc parent'.

    i've been in a relationship with a girl with BPD for around eight months, i want to break up with her and i don't know what to do. the passion and care i had for the relationship and being with her is clearly almost gone. i have to hang out with her whenever she wants or she gets upset with me, or with herself. whenever i don't act as she would want me to she talks about me to her friends and makes up lies about me instead of being an adult about things and critically evaluating her choices. she has told me several times that if we were to break up, she *will* kill herself, and she attempted suicide during our relationship after her friend cut her off. i think i will have to spend the rest of my life with this person who has taken a massive toll on my mental health, as she expects us to spend a life together. even if we broke up and she didn't end up dead, she'd blame herself mercilessly and hate herself for the rest of her life, or make up and overexaggerate my flaws, as she has done with her other exes. i'm terrified for the future
