[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 104736, member: 1514"] Mood swings are classic of borderline PD star. Also...your son has the classic early childhood for borderline if you ever read the "why it can occurs". A kid who has been abused...especially sexually...or lived in an invalidating environment is ripe to develop borderline. It can be hard to tease out borderline from bipolar in some people. I can now tell which of my episodes are borderline episodes and which are bipolar periods but that is because I have really worked hard on this. I didnt even know I was borderline for years but looking back I know I showed all the classic signs of both borderline and bipolar for years. I wasnt as abused as Dude but my mom was one sick puppy herself. I also have lived through childhood sex abuse and all that jazz. I do feel for these kids...you know that. I was one of them...heck I still am. I really think that he needs to see someone who can tease out if he is BiPolar (BP) or Borderline (BPD)...and then...instead of normal therapy...try DBT. CBT isnt enough and it wont really help a person who has borderline as much as DBT will. [/QUOTE]
