really struggling with my relationship, could use advice

Support

Hi, this is a throwaway account, haven't used it in years, but need to vent/ask for others' thoughts.

My girlfriend and I have been together 2 1/2 years. For about the last year, I've had a nagging feeling that my emotional needs are not being met. I struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and have a hard time knowing if it's my BPD giving me these thoughts or if they are valid.

After a therapy session today, I feel validated in my feelings. I feel like I really haven't been getting my needs met. I've had so much patience with my gf as she has been on her own journey through therapy and it's really starting to take a toll on me. At this point, it feels like we are incompatible in the ways that we give and receive love.

Would love to hear others' thoughts on this or know if anyone has had a similar experience. Thanks<3
