A girl I was seeing who was making me feel absolutely worthless was hiding a BPD diagnosis. Eh =/

The ex was diagnosed as bipolar when he stayed home for 5 years, unemployed, and indulging in rage issues. He was prescribed lithium, but after the first couple of pills stopped taking it, and the rage issues escalated. I actually had to call the police and have him taken away on one occasion.

@4meAndyou Gosh I'm sorry to hear that. I know that if someone is at the point of taking lithium for whatever issue they have, you want to stay clear. I think there is something about lithium that is paradoxical and makes you worse in some ways and makes you not want to take it.

@Therealsteve It was my only experience with someone who was taking the drug, and it was definitely not good. I got hit in the head with the telephone.

@4meAndyou Sorry to hear that =/ I have a similar story. First BPD i dated, didnt know she had it. She punched me in the face with the hand with a diamond ring, smashed multiple things and had her mum choke me. Then when she monkeybranched, added a ton of my friends on fb just so she could make a status for them all to see. A list of new years achievements, which she's otherwise never done, and 1 was "getting out of a domestically abusive relationship"

@Therealsteve Where SHE was the abuser...but she didn't mention that. I am so sorry you had to go through that.

@4meAndyou Thank you. I just wish I had the strength to block this current bpd that's split on me. I'm attached to someone who isnt there =/ been checking my phone all day because she and they get you hooked on those notifications.

@Therealsteve "Just walk out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Stan. There must be 50 ways to leave your lover. "

And ONE of them is to block her on social media.
