[QUOTE="FluffyOne, post: 756846, member: 25202"] I have a 20 year old that I also suspect has Borderline (BPD). She started self-harming at around 15 years old. She can be fine one minute and go off the next without any perceptible reason why. She started to be violent toward me when she was 17 and her younger siblings - she always tried to pick fights with them and was easily irritated by/jealous of them. She blames all her problems on others and never takes responsibility for her own actions. When she isn't getting her way, she drags other people into the situation telling them half-truths or outright lies to get them to feel sorry for her. She's terrible with money. She hasn't had a boyfriend that stuck around for more than 4 months. She started smoking when she moved out of the house. That's just off the top of my head. We took her to therapy when she still lived with us, but she wasn't interested in getting help. She just blamed everyone else and tried to charm the therapist. THW, she moved out at 18 (went to Job Corps). They put her on anti-depressants (which haven't helped). Psychologists are hesitant to diagnosis adolescents with Borderline (BPD) because of the "stigma". There isn't a medication that treats Borderline (BPD), only medications that treat some of the symptoms. It is extremely difficult to treat, even when the person in treatment is compliant. It is impossible if the patient isn't interested in getting better. [/QUOTE]
