My name is Yana and I am a 20+ Female. 

My name is Yana and I am the long time girlfriend/fiancée of someone living with BPD. We currently live in New York City where I attend NYU. I have lived, first hand, the nightmare that is BPD. Before we knew about the disorder, I was very confused and went through periods of self doubt and anger. My boyfriend, would often lash out in mis-directed anger and I had to struggle with the decision of whether or not to leave the relationship. After doing intensive research, pouring over medical journals and reading Non-BPD self-help books, I came to the realization that I could and would support him if he exhibited commitment and improvement. After a year, we're both very happy with the progress he has made but there are still rough moments. I want to communicate with other non-bpd's and possibly bpds to share my experiences and coping strategies.
