[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 687312, member: 1550"] Walrus....welcome to borderline personality disorder. In the past, many psychiatrists wouldn't accept borderline patients because they are SOOOOO difficult. The way they treat us is the way they treat therapists. They call non-stop. They threaten suicide (to assure a callback). They argue. Many cut themselves and abuse substances and therapy and medications dont change them. Sometimes they improve in middle age. Nobody knows why. Often they stay this way. It was once believed that borderlines couldn't change, but there is treatment now for those who acknowledge they have borderline and are willing to work extremely hard. Regular therapy has never helped borderlines. A new type of therapy called Dialectal Behavioral Therapy is the first type that has transformed very dedicated borderlines who are tired of living with constantly shifting moods, horrible relationships, rage, dysfunctional kids, legal trouble and hatred. Many borderlines now do admit they have this and get into DBT Therapy. Unless your daughter decides to get this help, you are going to see borderline instability and abuse. Borderlines do not change due to circumstance. They need to learn text book style how to control their moods that change minute to minute. It is far more out there than bipolar disorder, although it is often misdiagnosed as bipolar. Or comorbid with. I learned a lot about borderline.If you want to know more about it, I reccomend going to a site called Borderline Central. Lots of info and parents of borderlines there. Tons. Great site, great support. I feel really bad for you and hope for daughter to decide to make this drasic change. Its there for her. Hugs!!! [/QUOTE]
