Why did my BPD go away?
Burn Out. Some experts have speculated that BPD symptoms decline because the symptoms naturally “burn out” or that people simply grow out of the symptoms as they mature. In particular, research has shown that the impulsivity symptoms of BPD are the most likely to decline over time.
Does BPD just go away?

When is no contact used with a person with BPD?

Should you go no contact after a borderline breakup?
The people who are avid advocates for going no contact after a borderline breakup are usually people without BPD. They think that if they are out of the BP’s sight, they will simply forget about them. Well, not all BPs are wired the same way, and what works for some does not work for all.
Are people with BPD dangerous to themselves?
People with BPD are inherently incredibly dangerous to themselves. We struggle with self harm, suicidal behaviors, impulsive behaviors, intense emotions, and more. Most of us have serious abandonment issues.
Is it okay to not set boundaries with the BP?
That’s not setting a boundary with the BP, that’s letting both of you know that you can’t set boundaries. Going back and forth is even worse than no contact because you are not letting the BP heal, you are just reopening the wound every time. They will lose sleep over when you will next contact them and what you will say.
