[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Therapist thinks spouse may have it. Has anyone survived a marriage with this? We have been together 15+ years so even though it explains a lot it’s still a shock. My mind is whirling.[/quote] I was in a BPD support group for awhile and a number of people were managing. A few things I’ll mention - I personally think a calming medication to take the edge off BPD emotional reactivity is very very important. Once the nervous system is calmer, it is easier for thoughts to align. Two, please have sympathy for your BPD spouse. The emotions are extremely extremely painful. I know they often present as anger, but this is really just a mirror of sadness. I’m not telling you to be a doormat, but when he is triggered, affirming your love for your spouse and walking away but letting him know you’ll be back soon to talk may help. Good luck [/quote]
