Maybe if you're an extremely secure and strong individual with a firm sense of boundaries and lots of experience dealing with someone else's mental health, maybe you could take on dating someone with BPD

If, like the average CEman is what I imagine them to be, someone already struggling with their own depression and anxiety, you will absolutely be biting off more than you can chew. Just because you have gone through mental health issues doesn't equip you to be able to handle someone elses, when it's as severe as this

I remember genuinely thinking my open mind and empathy toward those with mental illness would mean I could handle any such illness in someone else. Even my own experience too, as I work in mental health. Was a tough lesson learned.
