[QUOTE="klmno, post: 288613, member: 3699"] ((HUGS)) I'm no expert but have to agree with the others. I'm sure it's hard to deal with this expecially since it just came out yesterday. But as you let it soak in, I 'd try hard to focus on what to do for each specific issue instead of a label. I read the description you put up- it still sounds to me like there are other things that could cause similar behaviors in teens. Think about anxiety, PTSD, narcissism, etc. I'm not saying she fits those instead of Borderline (BPD), just that I would not cast this diagnosis in stone yet. But even if it is accurate, I don't think we can predict anymore what that means for the rest of her life. So much is different now with more educated parents- like you- and mental health profs are learning more about how to deal with things like this as time passes. [/QUOTE]
