As a Reid lover with BPD, this was actually really comforting. In my personal life, I’m surrounded by people that don’t understand and don’t care to learn. Even just imagining that someone cares means the world to me.

To the author: you did lovely! I understand the anxiety that comes with writing a condition you don’t have and the desire to portray it in the right way, but I think you did good! The instant disappointment is so accurate, the way the reader’s heart sinks and it feels like a punch to the gut. It’s a very visceral feeling, no matter if the excuse is valid or not. A lot of people with BPD feel emotions very deeply, much stronger than the average person. The soft speaking and mumbling is incredibly accurate, because once something like that happens, the mood (at least mine personally) completely drops into a deep depression. The “will you still talk to me?” hits extremely hard, because oftentimes it feels like that person just doesn’t care about you anymore. The mention of impulsivity is perfect too! All in all, dear friend, you did fantastic!

hey, i was wondering if you'd be able to write smth with Spencer in a relationship with someone with bpd? it's totally okay if you're not comfy with that, but I've just been suspecting i may have it, and ppl with bpd are always portrayed so negatively in relationships. it would be just rly nice to read ur take on how Spencer would handle that and just see some positive representation! (my mental health has also been shit so it would be p comforting lol) thank u 🫶

hi love 🫶 i don't know a ton about bpd, so i hope i did this justice! i researched the diagnosis and how healthy relationships help with regulation and in what ways they do (both accounts from experts and from those who are diagnosed). and i hope you feel better soon <3 it sucks when your mind fights against you.

PROMISES • S. REID X READER

reader has bpd (written by an author without, ideally will be comforting rather than hurtful. please let me know if it is offensive in any way); gn!reader; spencer has to break a small promise but makes others; talks of therapy; teasing; fluff; ~500 words

“Hey, sweetheart,” Spencer whispers into the phone, voice a little strained. “I’m really, really sorry, but I can’t make lunch today. We’re on the way to a case in Omaha. It’s a really bad one.”

Your heart sinks. “Oh.”

“You know I want to be there more than anything, right?” He’s shuffling papers in the background, and you know they’re in the middle of getting ready on the jet and that he’s still making time for you, but it still makes your mind race with worry and upset. “I’ve been looking forward to it all week. And I promise I’ll take you out as soon as we’re back.”

You frown, fiddling with the promise ring on your finger. “Will you still talk to me?”

Spencer chuckles. “I think I go insane when I go too long without hearing your voice. As long as you don’t mind calls when it’s two a.m. there, I’m calling before bed every night I have enough time.”

You sigh.

“I know, honey. When’s your next meeting with your therapist?”

“Tomorrow,” you mumble, gnawing on your lip.

“Well, you have permission to talk about how much I suck,” Spencer teases lightly. “As long as you know it’s not by choice that I’m being a bad boyfriend.”

“You’re not a bad boyfriend.”

“Yeah?” You can hear the smile in his voice.

“You’re the best boyfriend. You understand me.” He does. He’s looked into BPD extensively — he knows even more than you do, rattling off statistics, assumed causes and connections, coping methods, everything. He knows how to break you out of the spirals and to calm your impulsivities.

“You have other boyfriends?” Spencer sighs dramatically, and you laugh.

“Why would I have them? You’re more than enough.”

Spencer hums. “I am, aren’t I?” 

You groan.

“I’m messing with you,” his voice is fond and soft. “I gotta hang up, everyone’s coming and we need all our focus on this case. Message me if you need anything. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.”

“You don’t do anything,” you know you’re exaggerating, but it’s hard to stop the words.

“I do, just nothing out of our normal,” he’s nudging you gently, reminding you to think things through before acting impulsively. “I give you permission to watch our show without me if it’ll keep you entertained.”

You laugh. “Okay, okay. Fine. I’ll be good,” you draw it out.

Spencer snorts. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Spence.”

A beat.

“I’m not actually going to talk shit about you to my therapist, just so you know. I do talk about you though.”

And then you hang up. 

He sends you a ‘???’ and a ‘I wanted to say something still.’ right after. When you tell him to say it, he sends a ‘Do what you need to feel regulated. I don’t take it to heart, you know I don’t.’

And he doesn’t. He’s so sweet, so achingly perfect, understanding of when your moods swing, or when you feel empty, or whenever anything changes and you can’t tell why. 

And he always helps you down, kissing scars and tears and whispering praise as he gets you to feel right again.

Morgan, whispering: I told Reid his ears turn red when he lies.

JJ: Why would you do that?

Morgan: Hey, Reid! Do you like being the baby of the BAU?

Reid, covering his ears: No!

JJ: …genius.

so, in true doctor reid fashion, i was rambling to my cousin about some criminal minds thing.

and she stops me.

puts her hand on my arm.

and goes: “why don’t you ever talk about real people?”

girlie pop, i appreciate your concern, but i have no real people to talk about. i am friendless in all definitions of the word.

[reids-left-sock]

one thing i’ve noticed about reid is that when he kisses someone (even in season one with lila) is that when he does kiss someone, it’s usually open mouthed and desperate, almost aggressive. personally, i think this stems from how much this poor man needs physical affection… HUG HIM PLEASE

I need this man to kiss me like that. I need him to suck the soul out of me. (and a shit ton of other things that I cannot explain here because that would be very R18 and some of yall are minors.)
