Caring for an aging mother with BPD - narcissistic traits

Hi Sonny1, i just joined this forum and saw your message. I totally understand how you feel as i care for my daughter with BPD and other neurodiverse conditions. The constant criticism, blaming, anger, aggresive reactions, being called names and never doing something right although all you do is looking after them is challenging, frustrating and tiring . Isolation as carer is real and not having time for self care too. I so feel with you and wanted to say that you are not alone. I am looking at the moment at ways to get help through a support worker agency but i am aware that its a financial burden. Maybe there are free community services near you? I hope you can find a support service near you so you can start to look after yourself. Wishing you all the best. Your fellow carer Eva3

Thank you @Eva3 sometimes it’s nice to just be validated. I’m so sorry that you are going through this too. I hope that you find some downtime from the constant caring. Thanks again. Take care.

Hi

I cared for a mother who was bipolar and I suspect narcissistic, as well as other family members, the only time I get to myself is if i go to hospital three family members I cared for are now gone but I still have an autistic daughter.its only recently Ive started to hit the wall over all of it. Thinking back over the years of it all I cant really offer any solutions but I do have some understanding of what your going through maybe you could start a journal and write all your feelings down

Thank you for understanding. That’s incredible caring for 3 family members. I take my hat off to you and puts things into perspective. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
