Hopefully counseling can help you learn your triggers. My counselor lets my fiance come with me whenever he can and she helps him to be able to deal with me. I also bought him a book for dealing with a loved one with bipolar. You just need to try to be calm (which I know is hard) and tell him how you feel. Or write it down. Or send him a text. I think when I communicate via text its easier to say how I really feel. My fiance really learned alot just from our first counseling session (ive only been to 1) and she was only performing an assessment. Print something offline and ask him to read it. Here is a good site that I used to show my fiance some of the symptoms are how a BPD person acts. Out of the FOG - Feelings Of Emptiness
I just had a huge fight with my fiance on saturday and he was grabbing my wrists and holding me down and I kept spitting in his face. It was really bad. But he wouldnt let me leave and he cornered me and he just hugged me and I snapped out of it. We fight with people thinking that we are mad but really we are hurt.

Thank you so much!

I will look into seeing if my bf can come to my appointments, cuz I know he wants to understand. That is such a great idea. And I find it easier to write my feelings as well. You can say SO much in a small amount of time without thinking and just speaking anger or pain, but when you write you really get to think it through more.
