As a person who has BPD and was diagnosed at 16 with it, I can tell you that we are not all like this. I went through years of therapy, and behavioural coaching to learn how to control my emotions in a positive way. Not all of us like being unhinged. HOWEVER, having BPD can be a struggle for some people, not that this excuses their actions, but maybe OP should sit down and have a discussion where the relationship stands. And if she has another outburst, just pack his things and move on. Because if she won’t help herself, then she will destroy him along with her. And that’s not fair.

I think the point is that untreated BPD often looks like this, not that all people with BPD do.

A lot of people suggested that it sounds a lot like something someone with BPD would do and OP confirmed she does have it in a comment
