Hi guys. I'm a parent of a daughter suffering from BPD, depression and anxiety. Currently on meds, the 4th with great early results but now downhill. Been such a long road as many of you would have experienced. We are in this together but as a parent I'm currently struggling with some issues. Theres a fine line between letting her find herself socially and still putting rules in place. She is turning 17 next week. Unfortunately my husband doesn't understand her mental issues, so I'm on my own with this . Just needing some advice...feeling like I'm walking on eggshells. I am new to this forum. 😊

Hi Trishna,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me and others: ) We really appreciate the feedback and knowing how you are going. Great that your daughter has clicked with a couple of professionals and has support, that is wonderful and so so necessary. I do not have BPD although after caring for someone who does sometimes I wonder about my own mental health!!!!!! I think its important not to label people to much unless you think its helpful. I have noticed with my young adult that I care for sometimes she will use it as an excuse and other times she feels less than everyone else. One day her boyfriend read her files and found out she had BPD and then treated her differently as if he could blame everything on her because she was mentally ill. Needless to say, that was not a good outcome. People do grow out of BPD and after 25 with a stable influence and depending on choices and therapies people can live normal lives, so keep doing what your doing 🙂 Do reach out to the carers line or BPD foundation if you want support because it is often the carer or parent that gives their all and needs to be nurtured as well. Best Wishes and we are always here 🙂 Nikkir x
