    My last ex. Found out too late that she has Borderline Personality Disorder.

    Towards the end of the relationship, I would randomly wake up at nights with her standing over me, waiting for me to wake up so she could scream at me.

    I hope she got the help she needs, but that was awful.

        I wish I knew! I tried to be as supportive as possible, but they would go from “I love you more than anything” to “I hate you” so quickly.

          That sounds super intense and hard. I can get incredibly stressed out by situations I can’t control, especially when it comes to greedy businesses. However, in relationships I seem to spend the majority of my energy trying to avoid conflict… seeking out fights seems crazy to me.
