[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 689974, member: 11791"] Skip the personality disorder at this point. The other diagnoses you list ARE enough that he may not be [I]able[/I] to pull it all together. Especially as he chooses to refuse interventions (therapy and medications). Anxiety alone can cause self-sabotage. And yes, the negative feedback loop of messing up generates more anxiety with each iteration. [I]But there is no way out of this negative loop without therapy. medications help some, but when it comes to anxiety, the key is to find the right therapist and right therapy. [/I] And he refuses BOTH interventions. Its at this point that he has your hands tied. He refuses to seek help. He has his own apartment. He should not be staying with you - period. If he can't handle staying in the apartment, then he needs help. It's possible that he may be dealing with some form of paranoia as well. That doesn't change the reality. Until HE is willing for interventions, there is nothing you can do that will actually help. And yes, that's a terrible position for a parent to be in. But sometimes they don't give us any other choice. [/QUOTE]
