Re: Boyfriend broke up with me because he couldn't handle my illness!
Hi. Just frommy personal experience i would be going to see your doctor. We aren't ourselves when it all gets too much. Sometimes we need counselling or medication or both together.
Most of all do not give up.... so many people are in the same shoes. Even in the happiest relationship it gets very hard.
We need to look after ourselves and be our own best friend.
We all have the right to live happily and we need to find a a way to do that.
Not everyone can understand no matter how hard they try.
Do not blame youself but please seek help for your own sake.

How do you normally look after your BPD? You say you are not medicated - does that mean you were in the past? If so, how did you find taking the medicine?
Do you have a psychiatrist or a psychologist who you see?
It sounds like your mood has crashed & you're not able to find a way out - on your own. Maybe go and see your gp & get a referral to a psychiatrist. Let them know you have been having suicidal thoughts.
How would you feel about going to hospital and being looked after for a while - while the professionals look at medication, therapy and other treatment that may help.
As for your relationship, it's hard to fix something when you are broken yourself. Maybe if you get some help for your thoughts,there might be a chance for a rreconciliation. But he is saying he can't do it anymore on his own. It sounds like he wants you to be proactive in your treatment and therefore your relationship.
Seek help through your gp. Let your fella know that you are getting help now

hey @helpmeifyoucan I hope you're ok there. Make sure you reach out to someone tonight if you need to.
All I've ever had from doctors and psychologists is help, they've never seen me as crazy. I don't think you go into a career in health unless you really care for people.
