After ~5 months: Thank you and goodbye
I joined this subreddit at the lowest point after leaving a relationship with someone with BPD. Like many of you, I experienced gaslighting, manipulation, emotional dysregulation, and constant self-doubt. I questioned my own reality more times than I can count.
This community helped me understand that what I experienced was real, that the patterns I saw were not my imagination, and that I was not alone.
Five months later I can honestly say I'm in a good place. I barely think about her anymore. I've built a life I enjoy – new city, new goals, new clarity about who I am and what I won't tolerate again.
To anyone still in the thick of it: it gets better. No contact works. Your perception was right. You're not crazy.
Thank you for being part of my healing. Time to move on. 💙
