I was thinking about writing this thread for awhile. But tbh I am kind of embarrased to admit that I had a best friend for 4 years and she abused me emotionally and verbally and I let her! But she also told me, once a week or more that she was suicidal so I was scared to go anywhere because I didnt want that on my conscience. I was recently reading about BPD and it really described her to a T. All of her behavior that at the time I just thought wad really strange. If I missed a day of school, she acted like I abandoned her on the worst day of her life! If I went on vacation with my family, she stewed for months. She had many off again on again relationships with guys. She partied and abused anti depressants. And she could go from withdrawn/depressed to giggling and hyper to sad in 20 or 30 minutes. Thhe silver lining is it gives me a sense of clousure to know there was actually a name for all that bizarre and disturbing behavior that I had to dea l with! High school was bad enough, Im sure every one can relate, but spending every day dealing with all that, I feel like I am permanently scarred! Sorry for the long post but I have been thinking about this alot!! And it helps to gets some things off my chest now
