Okay well I dont claim to be an expert, I'm just saying what I've read and heard.

I feel 1,000,000 times better in terms of self esteem and self worth compared to even a year ago. He doesn't put me down, tell me I'm stupid or ugly or that I can't do things. Okay so he doesn't exactly say I'm NOT these things but he just presumes I'm confident enough to not need to hear it, which 8 out of 10 times is true.

I think it is depression and BPD that ''talk'' to me, yeah. But it's more stuff like 'no-one could possibly love you' or 'you're damaged goods'.
