And they don't know?: Seriously, i would simply tell them in your own words what it is and how it feels. I would also only do this if you been officially diagnosed by mental health professional. There is also an excellent book "walking on egg shells" by paul mason. It is a book on how to live with someone who has borderline personality disorder. It is a great read and i know paul personally since we both work in the same city.

Borderline GF: If your girlfriend is suffering from borderline pd, you're probably suffering also -- from the behavior that comes with this diagnosis. There may be conflict over perceived or feared abandonment, impulsive aggression/rage, and high self-harm activities. However, with the diagnosis she has a chance to get the treatment she needs.
