Borderline personality disorder is one of the most difficult mood disorders to live with, and certainly presents a complication when it comes to love and relationships. If you’ve recently met someone you connected with who told you they have borderline personality disorder, you can certainly carry on a relationship, but tread lightly, and know what you’re dealing with. And definitely don’t date someone with BPD who isn’t participating in regular therapy for it—either through group or one-on-one counseling. It’s a manageable condition but it must be managed and not left to its own devices. There is a good chance that, at some point, you’ll take a liking to someone with BPD because they can be some of the most charming people. Here is what you need to know before dating someone with borderline personality disorder.
They don’t like sudden changes
Those with BPD often let their imaginations get the best of them. So when you make a plan with them, they have high hopes for it and have already gotten excited about particular details and ways they hope it will play out. So, if you tell them the morning of that the plan has changed, you’ll notice they shut down and emotionally retreat.
