Borderline personality disorder

AlligCasual Contributor

Borderline personality disorder

,y 21 yo daughter was diagnosed with bpd 3 yrs ago and also major depression but she had been suffering since I would say the age of 14. I am a th stage where I feel I enable her to be this way we cannot even have a conversation, if I ask for something to be done, yeah good luck with that... I don't want to live like this anymore. She is doing dialectical behaviour therapy but I really don't believe she does it properly just attends. She is under a psychiatrist but i don't get any support and they really want nothing to do wth me or how I feel she is doing. I have no family support they don't want to know about it.

I am looking for suggestions on how to deal with her, if it's something she doesn't like she says "that is for making me suicidal"

Re: Borderline personality disorder

Welcome to the forums @Reece - so glad you found a thread and topic that resonated with you and your experiences. This thread is a little old and it's great to get it boosted again and hopefully more discussion will come through. Otherwise do feel free to start your own thread to share what is happening for you and get some further support from peers. You can post your story in the 'Our stories' section if you would like! I am sorry you are going through this with your daughter - it sounds like you are doing an amazing job but it still can be so heartbreaking in those struggles. Do you or your daughter have some other supports like therapists, GP?

@Amber1do you mind if i ask where you did the Helping Minds course? I desperately need some direction & maybe this will help me understand, cope & manage a little better. Was there a cost involved? Hope things are going along OK for you at the moment xx

Hi Reece
Just get in touch with Helping Minds and they'll direct you to the nearest course for you. It was great. My son is doing well now.

hey @Reece 🙂 Just a heads up members cannot disclose information regarding specific locations as it compromises our anonymity guideline which you can read about here I reckon check out their website or get in touch with the org if possible. Sorry I know it's frustating at times but this guideline exists purely to keep everyone in the community safe.
