I was diagnosed as having BPD years ago and am basically a textbook case. I used to cut, have an eating disorder, I drank everyday for a year and a half, I grew up with an abusive and neglectful parent, my temper and rage is out of control sometimes and I definitely have issues with relationships...

I met a guy a year and a half ago and we got serious pretty quickly. I hadn't been in a serious relationship for two years beforehand and I knew that I should be careful...I tended to get attached and become intense too quickly and figured I'd push him away. It was weird because this time HE initiated the quick attachment and proposed to me three months into dating. I didn't know any better at the time and was ecstatic! My dream of a true, loving partner being there for the rest of my life coming true? Never having to be afraid of being alone ever again?? Sign me up! Of course it turned out he had emotional issues of his own...
