My view.

I am BPD and hubby is MPD we both suffer from depression plus other bits and bobs but seem to muddle through.

I take meds hubby does not.

If I am down he comes down with me for some reason and visa versa.

However it has brought us far closer together than most other couples I know.

Hubbys view.

Our mental illnesses give a completely different dimension to our relationship, it places difficulties where they are not normally found, it places stress and stressful feelings where they also are normally not found.

However, its also brings a closeness and understanding and love that non sufferrers would ever be able to apprieciate.
