in my opinion the experience will open your eyes, that not all mental illnesses are bad, I'm glad and proud of my illness, as many are, and given the chance I'd never change any part of it
I think you should at least give her a chance, also, she was honest enough to tell you in the first place mate, that shows she's thought a lot about the situation, the meds should keep her very stable, too that's the good part about bipolar meds they work very well, with BPD there is no medication just management,
there are many resources online, about relationships and mental illnesses, gimme a PM or something if she also has BPD and I'll gladly give you some insight, from my point of view
little by little we went insane
