BPD And depression

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. 😊

Thanks James. You've hit the mark as in I think this is what I wanted and needed to hear.... from a sufferers point of view. Your viewpont is so valuable. I think my daughter would feel the same. I've been putting off "the forum thing" for so long, thinking I was fine and all. Don't get me wrong , i have awesome family and friends but to able to talk with ppl going through these issues makes it all so worthwhile. You've been an incredible help James..😊😊 Huge thanks.

Hi thanks for coming back to me xx yes headstrong i am very too i like ur daughter sacrifice myself to help people emotionally we know we can help people and we try to help as many as we can. The term of this is called an empath u can just Google it to find out more. In saying this we r people magnets and we take on everyone's energy while we help them this intern leaves us very drained and exhausted. A way to help with this exhaustion i ground myself which means i sit in nature to recharge alone in a secluded spot and refresh myself so to speak i have been this way since I was a little girl. My gift has only grown stronger as i have gotten older alot of it i have self taught to understand what has been happening all my life until one day i just needed some answers I walked into a healing shop and the lady at the counter was a medium she disclosed to me that I am a walking angel earth angel so to speak I am arch angel Gabriel gods highest ascendent xx I cary a white light and a halo above my head the spirit world see me as the gateway to heaven and this is why many people come to me. This process of being a people magnet is also seen as a spiritual awakening i have many of them and I feel pretty blessed to have this beautiful gift xx I am a youth worker hence my need or passion to always help the beautiful yet broken souls. Ur daughter has the same gift i know bc i speak of experience xx all the best with this she can search her abilities online and read about them that is how i taught myself xx reach out to me anytime u feel you may need guidance with this it really is such a beautiful gift to have xx

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

Omg thank you so much..I really needed to see this today. Both of us are so mentally exhausted. Its been a terrible couple of days. Many years ago a friends relative met my daughter once and said she was an indigo child ..,this was long before any issues had arisen. I will look into your suggested Google searches. My daughter has always been attracted to the beach. I try and take her there as much as I can..she's always said it soothes her. I truly appreciate your help at this time. She has hit a hard spot atm even pushing me away. I can handle that as much as it hurts as I know she herself is finding her own limits which in some way is comforting to me. Mant thanks. Xxoo

Hi there lovely and thanks for coming back to me xx yes I am an indigo child too and my fav spot is the beach too xx we are going through alot atm universe and energy shift wise we have just overcome the dark moon now we are going through the process of getting a super dooper moon which is due to happen on the 15th of this month so expect to feel less energy during this time. It is always important for us to ground ourselves during full moon cycles they can be quite exhausting. Being among nature is how I get thru this tiring time. Also ur daughter can call upon the angels for help Michael is the protector and arch angel raphael is the healer there are other ones she can just Google it. I work with these two angels very closely they have guided me for many of my years. Everything I have learned has been self taught Google became my friend lol xx I wish ur daughter all the best with this beautiful gift she has i have had it since i was a little girl xx hence too why many people come to me the process is called a spiritual awakening where by many come to people like myself and ur daughter bc they know we can help them bc we r they're to listen to them and help them its like they sense it in us call it law of attraction but we attract the lost and broken and i think sometimes we can get ourselves into a pickle bc we feel we can help them all and save them all well clearly we can't otherwise we will burn ourselves out. Ur daughter will be ok she will learn how to find herself how to ground herself set barriers for herself its something she must do on her own it all part of her spiritual journey xx i am more than happy to guide either of you anytime u know where to find me xx i wish you both the very best with this i know u can feel alone at times during spiritual journey but one always finds their way back to themselves xx take care now and speak with you soon xx Venessa
