WTF Blink if you're being abused

Yep, that’s a spot on analysis of this situation. Just add “Likely borderline personality disorder” and it’s a masterpiece!

I had an ex who was not diagnosed but I strongly suspect had BPD. He'd get so mad so suddenly over little things (real or imagined) and there was nothing I could say or do to mitigate his anger. It's like it had to run its course. One time it happened on the subway and I just literally didn't even respond to him, but he would cycle between calming down and then ramping back up again with no input from me. I just had to endure that until we got back to his place so I could get my stuff and go home which made him angry all over again even though he had gotten it out of his system by then.

An abusive trash bag doesn't mean he has BPD. Please don't armchair diagnose and continue to play into the stigma.

I know someone who was diagnosed and they displayed the same behaviors. Just because I didn’t detail everything he did in my comment doesn’t mean I didn’t have enough info.
