Help at last

Help at last

Hello everyone. New to this forum. Just so happy to find this group. I'm endeavouring to gain knowledge so I know how to support a family member who has recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

hello @Flo and welcome
please feel free to have a look around and join in wherever you like.
we have a thread called 'hot chocolate anyone?' in the social section where many carers hang out. please pop in anytime!

I don't care for someone who have borderline personality disorder however I do have the condition myself and am happy to share any knowledge I have or answer any questions you may have

also a little forum tip is to put an @ before a members name, this way that member will receive a notification that your talking to them


I think @Determined may be able to offer some advice too

Morning @Flo

It is lovely to hear a Nana so keen to help.

As outlander mentioned I support my wife (aka my darlikg) of 20+ years who lives with BPD. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

The biggest piece of advice I can offer is to set clear boundaries. Slightly different dynamic for your relationship but it has made a big difference in our family.
