[QUOTE="compassion, post: 413857, member: 6393"] In my expereince, this is a huge and very frustrating part of the illnesses. My daughter ahs boredline traits,which can mean cycling multiple times a day. The Stop Walking On Eggshells books and eseiclalhy the new book by Valerie Porr has helped a lot. I cannot reason with her illness. I do reinforce thiings like not running away. At 15/16 she was doing this constantly and when she got more stable on medications that stopped. I have hope and will contiure reinforcing and advocating for tratment. DBT is the way from what I have read and we have used many of the tecdhniques on mydaughter and it is effective. It is tiny baby steps and takes a long time. Porr emphasizes looking at the large picture. At Nami Monday night, a 25 year old with the same dxs as my daughter was beautfil and sober and I will never give up that hope. She is medication adherent, clean, and sober and particpating in Clubhouse program. The illness snubs tratment that it despeartely needs. My daughter currently was jsut ordered Tuesday by a diversion program for drug teating and substance abuse conceling. It is scary for her but I have hope. In August, we are gogi to move to where there is DBT. Fear and connceting consquwuenes and actions does not work for my daughter. Comapssione coaching with firm limits does. Mydaughter has a 21 year old boyfriend, same one since Sept. 2009. No, I do not think they do underatand becsue thougts are not resonable. I have and contnue to be a huge advocate for treatment versus punsihment. There is hope but it is very long and frutrating and baby steps. I find with my daughter is when she is clean, that is when the bordrline tratis relaly rear their head. Her behavior often appears to be drug induced when it is actilly a sx of her mental illness.
