Dating Mental Illness

my take on borderline personality disorder

9:00 am, I send you a text

“Good morning, I hope you slept well”

I continue to get dressed

 

9:05 am, I check my phone

No reply

You are probably still asleep

I eat breakfast

 

9:10 am, I check my phone

Still no reply

My mind races to the night before

What did I say?

What did I do?

I don’t know what happened

But all I know is this,

It's over.

You are surely gone forever.

I feel tears and I feel rage

Welling up inside me

And surely I am about to burst

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you,

How could you do this?

How could you leave me alone like this?

I needed you

You were my rock, my sunshine,

And I know why you left,

It was because you couldn’t handle

Because every day I am up and down

And round and round

And I have dragged you on this,

This wild roller coaster ride

And you couldn’t handle it

Who can handle it?

 

 

9:30 am, my phone chimes

“I overslept, I’m sorry”

I smile

I was wrong this time

This hits home pretty hard. I've attempted to date a few women who either had the diagnosis or were showing symptoms. It's definitely tough, on both people.

Interesting to see it from the other side though. Sounds about what I imagine they were feeling.
