My ex has a lot of NPD tendencies and symptoms and I have a lot of BPD tendencies and symptoms. And we hurt each other. And it sucks because we love each other. But it just doesn't work. And yeah. Idk. Just. Yeah.

Thank you for making this video. My fiance, Kevin, has BPD, and he is very extreme! One moment he is happy and joking and then one thing, even a very small matter, he goes crazy, screams, repeats God's name in vain over and over and over (which I hate) he punches holes in the walls, we have only 1 door in the house and that got his fist in it. We have only a front and back door and a bathroom. He busted up the kitchen table, the cabinets. Everything is either good or bad. Mostly negative right now and he talks suicide ALL THE TIME!!! He is divorced, and he never led on to what his role in the demise of his marriage was. He made his ex to be an "evil, money hungry, manipulating wh**e" <---his words! I was terrified of her. But we talked for hours when he was at work when she dropped off the kids. (He since lost them on Thanksgiving due to his behavior and his cat hoarding. Also, anything that happens to him, it's always someone else's fault. Like he left his coffee cup in the car. He was running late for work and he yelled at me for not reminding him to get it. (That is one of the mild things, and he threw his cell phone and reading glasses and went crazy over that) I don't know how long I can stick around with him. He won't get help. He was prescribed medicine he says he didn't like the way it made him feel, not in control. So he told me he will never see a Mental Health Professional ever again cause they are "out to get" him and "try to control" him. There is so much more, but I am trying to keep this short., Anyway, this video was a life savor and I found very helpful. I have been reading up on DBT and using that to cope with his outbursts. Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy and feel hopeless and I am usually a very happy go lucky person. He is zapping my energy out. Being in the same room with him is exhausting and walking on eggshells. I cannot stand it.
