Makes me wonder how good this person is for you in the first place if he has that kind of power over you. Please, please stand up for yourself and do not let him be the one to make any life changing decisions for you.

I've wondered the same thing about whether or not he is good for me. When he's calm, he's very nice and supportive and loving - almost like a father figure. But when he gets excited, he pushes me pretty hard about doing aggressive things to "fix" my BPD, most of which I don't feel comfortable with. The last time we had a disagreement because he wanted me to do something I thought wasn't quite the right thing, he started yelling at me in public - much like my specific father figure. I think his intentions are good - he probably just wants me to get better and stop being such a basket case around him - but his methods are borderline triggering.

Do make sure you let your T know about this because in either case it's something they should know.

I am really afraid to talk to my t too much about this. If I tell him I don't trust myself not to OD, that combined with my tendency to SI (which he does know about) might result in a forced trip to the hospital. I believe that if that happens, I will just give up and stop making an effort to fight my way out of the place I'm in right now.
