hey there @Noels, I'm TuxedoCat, one of the peer workers here. This sounds so stressful, I imagine you're really worried for you son ❤️ I had to wait 6 months to see someone last year and it was really stressful.
Are you looking for some other options?

Hi @Noels and welcome to the forums.
I hear you and your struggles are real. It is hard getting into psychiatrist. I only got into one by ringing around myself and doing the first appointment privately.
I hope you are able to get into seeing someone soon.
We are here for you.

Manmade as well as natural electricity goes against our head.
We shape it as the sub, con, suss. It's always a shadow.
It's good that he/she is piercing this shadow. But no doubt they may experience bouts of motivation hence the ups and downs.
If/when the downs come It's good to remember that there is physical activity going against our heads so that's the downs can be steadily turned back to the ups again.

Hi and welcome to the forums @Noels.
Forum tip:
Clicking the @ button will give you a drop-down menu of the last 5 people to post here, so you can “tag” the person you want to respond to.
My experience is not with BPD, but there are a lot of wonderful people here who do, both loved experience and carers for loved ones. I am glad you found us.

Hi and welcome, @Noels .
@Former-Member and @Snowie have great suggestions above, plus I'm going to tag @BPDSurvivor and @tyme who have great insight into BPD.
A handy forum tip is if you type @ and then click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.
I hope you find the forums supportive...

Hey @Noels !
Welcome to the forums!
To find services in your area, go to The Australian BPD Foundation website, go to their newsletter then have a look at NSW services. I know Project Air is in Wollongong. But there are definitely other services.
As well as that, Spectrum VIC has supports for carer workshops which you may be able to access online.
Hope this helps!
