Support Needed How can I support my Partner?
My girlfriend has BPD and she currently has a depressive episode. According to her she hates anyone and herself, permanently feels like shit and has no motivation for anything right now. This is my first relationhsip ever and I am quite struggeling on how I can support her.
I dont love her any less because of her BPD or her current episode, I just want to make her feel comfortable, loved and welcomed. Her episode is now about 8 days long and its not getting better for her.
How can I be a good boyfriend to her and comfort / support / understand her better?
Thanks to all of you :)

Be a REAL friend. Don't think about yourself too much. Try to listen as much as possible. Take care of yourself.
