Hi guys, I’m new to this forum & also my partner has just be diagnosed with BPD. She’s waiting for her DBT course to start. I’m struggling to understand what’s going on when her moods change & I don’t handle it the way I should & then push each other away..more so me say it’s all to hard but then I take some time out & work out how to improve the situation that leads us to just about quitting. Any advice would be much appreciate 🙂

We can see how confusing it would be to your partner @Met1, especially in the wake of a diagnosis. Being there, supporting and understanding your partner's diagnosis shows that you aren't, in your words, going to go anywhere.
