Thanks, Mars. Im 18 months out from a waif borderline as well. Its truly the most damaging event I have ever survived, but am doing SO much better these days. I still visit this forum time to time as I wont be fully healed for some time I imagine, if ever. I just wanted to say stay strong brotha, and thank for this post. Even now, its refreshing to read.
Your heart races, your vision narrows, and you feel a surge of rage or despair that is entirely disproportionate to the situation. For those who are unable to regulate emotions, this isnt a choice; it is a daily reality that impacts mental health, career stability, and the very fabric of their relationships.
Imagine being triggered by a minor eventperhaps a partner forgetting to pick up milk or a child spilling juiceand feeling your emotions instantly spiral out of control. It isnt just a flash of annoyance; it is a physical takeover.
A year after having been replaced and discarded by my exBPD bf, I keep wondering where I went wrong and how my man could just dump me suddenly when everything seemed to be going perfect .There were no tantrums, no rages... .not until the final discard . He was a real angel or so he led me to believe ... .until I discovered that he had been seeing someone else behind my back.

There are poems, songs, lists and just - words. Maybe its a scrap-book?. It feels like a record, Maybe proof of my understanding of what happened?. Its like a document containing puzzle pieces. Pieces when put together create the BPD mosaic, and it is a mosaic. It brings light where there was none. And in reading this document from time to time perhaps less frequent now. its words inspire me even more. And illuminates the space in my mind that was once dark.
I have found that in my healing from all this past half years bundle of mess and confusion that, keeping a word document;file and adding journal entires when needed has helped me release, understand and perhaps reflect back in on the progress and observations Ive made. It helped bring order.
I found this below response on a forum online early in my research identifying my current journey... Ive been 6 months NC with many setbacks and feel like i identify with it more than i did when i first read it at my beginning... .it really says it all to me at this point .
