Love isn’t impossible with BPD — but it can feel like walking a tightrope between fear and longing. One moment, you're overwhelmed with affection, the next, you’re questioning if it was ever real. In this video, we dive into what it’s like to date while living with Borderline Personality Disorder. Through Magenta’s personal story and backed by real research, we explore how emotional intensity, fear of abandonment, and deep sensitivity shape relationships. It’s not about blaming or romanticizing — it’s about understanding. If you’ve ever felt too much, too sensitive, or too scared to be loved, this one’s for you. What does it actually take to build love that holds steady when your emotions don’t?
