The self awareness I experienced watching this is both enlightening and terrifying. I pray i have the strength to make the changes I need to make with my husband
-
"You're" 😉 (Great content as always doc, just had to feed the OCD grammar demon)
-
Here is the one area where I actually got it right.....married for 37 years to my number one favourite person. My mum used to say he was put on the planet for you......she knew somehow. But whatever the reason we have stuck by each other.......in sickness and in health.
-
Honestly, if I don't have my partner... i unfortunately don't have anyone, literally. No family or friends. I'm working on that though... Long road.

I’m such a loner and isolated. So I do want to change that fact and I want to need people. But it can be heartbreaking. I rarely find a soul I’m both attracted & interested in. So when it happens, it’s not working out. 🌲🌺🦋🌸

I’m looking forward to this one. I feel like I’m dating a great guy (8 months now) but I get in my head a lot still. With all the work I’ve done, I finally feel I’m worthy of a healthy relationship but sometimes I don’t know if it’s my relationship insecurities or a real issue when something comes up inside me and it can be challenging knowing what to address and what to let go of… He’s not scared of BPD or anything and he’s very mentally strong. I think that is my absolute favorite thing about him.

Thank you so much for all your time and effort you put into these videos. If it wasn't for me finding your channel, I wouldn't be able to start to grab ahold of my own mental health steering wheel and taking back over my life again!
-
If your comment on this post is about you're, then you probably have BPD. 😉 I have BPD and was going to comment on the misspelling but people beat me to it. 😀😀😀 Thanks for you videos, Dr. Fox!

I think that I developed an attraction to people that will use and abuse me, ridicule me, and cut me down because my first experience with s*x and love, aside from the domestic violence, gaslighting, and general abuse etc. I constantly witnessed, was with the abusive brother that molested me and then left me feeling abandoned once more.
-
Thanks so much for sharing this video!
-
This is a great educational and insightful video. I so appreciate all of your insights and advice!
-
This was great Dr. Fox. I can think of a few situations that should be want vs need based, but I think you described the most important one. The hard part is convincing yourself that things can change.
-
Thank you for breaking this down
-
Great video! I was responsible for the chick in a cage environment I brought to my 20 year marriage. Feels good to be changing my relationships from that to a more free style although it feels scary and foreign at times. I hesitate to move further in my current relationship as I’m so afraid of going back to old ways so I move very slowly but with the right person, that’s ok. 😊
-
I can't tell if I'm BPD or Disorganized attachment.. it's extremely confusing 😕
-
I am not sure if I have BPD or not.. my last relationship brought out a lot of BPD traits.
-
I need you, like the flowers need the rain, you know ❤ Bread

I love your videos
-
We love you.

I have an interesting case for you. What about a narcissist who thinks she’s borderline ? With reactive abuse the narcissist or even the borderline can transform the partner into a situational narcissist? The partner who is abuse suffer narcissistic wound that makes them temporarily narcissist. This way the borderline or narcissist can still blame the partner of being the narcissist or the toxic person
