I'm ready to continue our BPD chat if you are free @Sunnyside226

Your ready today to jump into chatting 😂

Can you give me half an hour? @tyme

Sure, I can give you as much time as you want 🙂 I'll be hear until just after 9pm.

Having coffee and cake alone? What's wrong with that? I think that's the most awesome thing to do! Next time, just pretend I'm sitting with you. You can read my posts on the forums while you are eating if you want lol.

OR,

Next time, when you are having coffee and cake alone, notice and really TASTE what you are eating. In this busy world, we often forget to taste what we put in our mouths and really taste them.

Do these things instead of worrying about what others MIGHT be thinking about you. Are you ever going to meet or see those people again? Prob not.

@tyme I'm back

Next time I'll picture you next to me enjoying your coffee or tea

Do you drink coffee or tea?

I have coffee and tea @Sunnyside226 . Depends on the occasion.

@tyme here's a coffee and cake if you eat it if you don't just put it in the bin

Yum @Sunnyside226 ! Thanks! I totally need it right now.

Esp CHOCOLATE cake! I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

So, talking about BPD, did you have specific questions?

After the training, did they confirm that it was Borderline Personality Disorder? It's just odd that they've diagnosed a child so young. It must mean he's been through significant trauma much of his life. Must be hard.

@tyme I got the age wrong as I read it too fast

it's bipolar I don't know if that's the same

Is that like a behaviour thing? He as complex behaviours

Ah!!! That makes so much more sense! @Sunnyside226

That's why I asked whether it really was BPD or bipolar.

BPD and bipolar and look similar in many ways but the treatment is very different.

There are different types of bipolar. Some have manic episodes for a few weeks and then depressive episodes for a few weeks. Some have rapid-cycling bipolar where mood changes between days.

Because of this, it can affect behaviour. Do you know if he is on medication?

Also, (if it's okay to answer), do you have to stay with him or do you work with him to support him?

@tyme I have him tomorrow morning

I'm not looking forward to it I've never done one before I am on call tonight for that house holy spirit it's bad

I met him once it didn't go down well

Tomorrow if you see a post that will be me panicking or something
