Giving it some time is a good idea.

I for one could never date another BP, ok maybe I actually could, but I'm dead sure I could never date another borderline.

I value the stability and calm my bf brings to the table far too much. He balances out my crazy, he's the calm and I'm the storm. I need an anchor, and I don't see someone like me being able to be my anchor.

I don't talk in depth MH stuff with bf, not because he won't understand, but past stuff that made me see it was healthier to keep this shyt as seperate from him as possible.
I do however share the stuff that affects him, because that's relevant to our relationship.

My bf isn't exactly neurotypical,he suffers from bouts of intense depression, but I wouldn't write someone off because they didn't have a MH dx. Some neurotypicals can be very supportive and understanding (the ones I know anyway) even though they essentially don't "get it"...
Support comes wrapped in all sorts of different packages, and besides, for me, acceptance is way more important than being understood.

My T and PC friends understand, and that's more than good enough for me.
