Listen to me, and hear me well, I have dated a BPD and lived with her for the last year, we just recently broke up, and my advice is....DO NOT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER CONSIDER DATING OR EVEN ASSOCIATING WITH A BPD CHICK!!
Want a couple examples?
They lie-pathologically.
When you meet them they will think you are the greatest person in the world, to the point of it being wierd, like they are obsessed. But when they get mad? Hell has no fury like a woman with BPD. I have been physically beaten, hit while driving my car, screamed at for hours on end for no apparent reason, had my personal items destroyed, etc.
They will appear to just seem "odd" in other words their reality and what everybody elses reality is are different.
They most likely will not have a good relationship with their family because they are sick of dealing with them and their behavior. Will have little or no friends (if they do their men) will have had many many different jobs. Will take up one job or hobby and be all gung ho about it and the next week act like it never existed. They will do drugs, drink excessivley, smoke etc.
When they decide in their mind that you are no longer worthy of them, they will drop you in a second and move on to being in love with another guy the very next day. I kid you not. Most people when they break up go through a period of sadness and just want to be alone, these women can literally fall in love the very instant they dump you. They will also cheat without a second thought about it.
Some personal experiences....She would hit me, she would lie about things that made no sense lieing about, she would rage for hours and then a minute later act like nothing happened, she tried to kill herself twice in front of me, she was addicted to presecription meds and alcohol, she would get mad if I said the sky is blue just because she wanted to get mad...and to top it all off, when i finally left her and said enough is enough, she called the police accusing me of hitting her (which I never did) had me put in jail for domestic violence, and took many many personal items of mine that I will never get back.
You have to understand these people only see things in black or white, its called splitting. Things are either great or bad, good or evil. There is never a middle gound or a gray area like ou and I see things. And the prognosis for ever getting better is extremely bad, they are the one group of mental illnesses that psychiatrists hate to treat because they are so frustrating. Do no try and rescue them hoping they will get better, they will only suck you in and hurt you in the process.
She has been under treatment for a long time for this, and has only gotten worse. It is a sick sick illness and person who has BPD.
Trust me, if you even suspect meeting a person with this illness, run away asap. THey will destroy you.
