[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 26754, member: 84"] Janet has excellent advice with Borderline (BPD). [img]:smile:[/img] She's helped me tons. I think the hardest thing I deal with is that when N is not stable, or having what I like to call a "borderline moment", is that her perception of situations and or the world around her are so distorted. And it can be all but impossible to get her to see this for herself. It's not always that she is actually trying to be unreasonable, manipulative, or irrational. During these times she really does believe she is the rational one and everyone else just doesn't get it. Pile BiPolar (BP) on top of this and just wait for the explosion! One of the things I've been seeing with the current stability is that she often will come to me and actually ask me if her behavior for a given situation is appropriate. Or she'll ask easy child. We both try to be really objective in our responses. I think it has helped her. I've been watching her of late being able to be assertive without going over the line. (big step for her) Being able to express her feelings without raging either offensively or defensively. But she also knows this can change with just a single missed medication dose. We've seen it happen. Might be getting close to another medication increase as now it happens just when she's a bit late taking them. This is why I do worry about her once she decides to move out. Thankfully she told easy child she isn't planning to move out for at least another year. [/QUOTE]
