Anyone out there have a wealth of knowledge dealing with narcissists, individuals who may have BPD or both

Yeah that said it all, anyone have the 411 about dealing with narcissistic people and/or individuals that may have Borderline Personality Disorder?

Especially in the context of being in a relationship or god forbid, a marraige to one? I have a good bit of experience but mines more a "throwing spaghetti at the wall to see if it sticks" kinda know-how.

I have to admit, I'm guilty of being an online researcher.

 

I spend a lot of time on WebMD, Wikipedia and YouTube documentaries highlighting various psychological and physical disorders.

 

The web might be a good place to start.

Take EVERYTHING online with a grain of salt.

I'm not sure about relationships but that provides some insight at least.  I've dealt with many over the years.  The worst part is trying to point out their own behavior to them when they ask me "why don't I have any friends?"

 

BPD is completely different however.  I mean a person can have both sure, but it isn't like they go hand in hand or anything.

Best of luck.  Just remember that if you love someone it doesn't mean you have to put up with their bullshit, and if they love you back that means they'll try to avoid piling it on you in the first place (if they can, it's called mental illness for a reason.)

This. Not to sound cold to anyone. But BPD and narcissist are known for never getting their shit together enough to stop mistreating people. Save yourself the heartache.
