Hi
I have found myself here after coming to the end of my own strength to cope as a wife of a husband with BPD.
I am wondering if anyone knows a psychologist in south east Melbourne who they could recommend that is familiar with treating the partners of those with BDP?
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi @Rose0 good to hear things are a little better for you at the moment.
Totally understand the posting in desperation as that is pretty much how I arrived here also and I'm sure many others here. The support here has been invaluable. Only just keeping our heads.above water is also a common thread around here. Knowing this often gives me the strength to push on through sharing with people.who truly understand.
Trusting your upcoming appointments are of benefit for you.

I hope so too, it is incredible how fast it can go from extraordinary to excruciatingly horrible. I am so happy I found this forum.
