I don't think you are burdening people.

I am glad you shared.

I am sorry you were hurting.

I relate also to the guilt about "hurting" our loved ones. I am glad your guy understands and does not judge you. It's nice to have that---we all deserve that and not all of us have that, I know.

BPD symptoms can hurt us, as well as our loved ones. It hurts everyone.

and then dealing with things that many of us deal with, such as physical illness or pain, just watching our loved ones watching us hurt, can be hard on everyone, incl. us!

thanks for talking to us; glad you came on,

Billi
