scared to post this buuuut honestly I really love this comic. As a person with bpd, I resonated heavily with Jaemin all through the series (ofc not during some More uh… dramatic and illegal parts). seeing him acknowledge his mistakes and try to change felt healing to me in a way, because I was forced to acknowledge my own flaws in a similar way. when you love someone, of course you don’t want to hurt them, but sometimes you do. and when you’re mentally unwell + untreated, moving forward past the barrier of “what should I even do to change?” is very hard, especially when you keep messing up over and over again. the feeling of hopelessness and grief when you realize the person you love might be better off without you, and the emptiness that follows is a feeling very hard to survive. bpd is a very serious condition, and while I don’t wanna say jaemin HAS bpd, I will say that there are parallels.
I’m glad that the blonde dude (I forgot his name) is able to acknowledge the most important part of dating someone like that: THEY AREMT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!! PUT YOURSELF FIRST!!! ITS NOT YOUR JOB TO CHANGE THEM!!
Please, as someone with bpd, I implore everyone who took the time to read this to properly understand how the disorder affects both the person with the condition, and the people around them. It’s nonsensical and weird, but it’s real. And as someone whose suffered through many break ups due to people who don’t understand it, or how to preserve themselves in the relationship, I’m very glad that these two get the happy ending they both deserve…
