If this is a person you’ve been known for a while, they understand your mental situation and how to handle you. Then go for it. but If this is someone you just met and you don’t know how they’ll handle you. Or they don’t know how to handle you. I think for both parties it’s better off for the relationship not to happen.

as long as you communicate everything honestly and appropriately i have BPD and it just takes a super patient and understanding partner tbh.

I think you should be receiving some sort of treatment beforehand and continue to get some. Like forget the other person for a moment, I think it’s best for you to not get into a relationship without professional support.

just dont expect them to be your therapist or to stop you from killing yourself or anything. and make sure you don’t start hinging your self image on how they treat you
