how to support a loved one with BPD

Unstable emotions, volatile relationships, and a desperate fear of being abandoned are what characterise someone with a borderline personality – a condition that is also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder. Seven in every 1000 people in the UK have borderline personality disorder – and three-quarters of people diagnosed are women.

Borderline personality disorder is often misunderstood, and has been characterised in movies as being a manipulative ‘bunny boiler’. Living with the condition can leave people feeling confused, panicked, bitter and despondent. Life can be challenging for you, too, if you have a friend, partner or family member who has borderline personality disorder. You may not understand why your loved one adores you one minute and blames you for everything the next. It can be hard to cope with. Understanding the condition may be one step closer to helping you, however.
