To be honest I am not exactly sure if I am posting in the right spot right now.

A bit about the things I am dealing with. I currently live with my spouse who I am separated from due to mental health issues and how they have affected our relationship. We have a young son (only 2 and half) and I want to stay around him to make sure he has a father figure and I hope to one day teach him about these emotional issues that he will most likely have to experience in the future.
My partner has BPD and it is an incredibly confusing and polarizing issue to deal with. I care for this person but they have a very tough time dealing with thoughts of abandonment and anger. This comes out at me and makes it almost impossible to live in any comfortable way. Don't get me wrong I have my share of issues and had been in therapy, up until recently, to try and make sense of my own feelings and good ways to cope with what was going on around me. Unfortunately I had to stop my therapy due to lack of funds but the things I learned over the years have been invaluable.
I don't really know what my point is here. I guess I just want to talk about my own and listen to other's issues to try and find strategies to deal with the depression and anxiety that hits me or just commiserate with others that understand the same feelings.

Cheers.
