[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 699729, member: 20814"] Thank you, Somewhereoutthere, I did a quick reading of Borderline Personality Disorder. She does exhibit erratic behavior, does have pretty intense anger issues, but she has never expressed suicidal urges (even to mental health professionals. We have been going over her records for SSI purposes). She has had periods of stable behavior, but I have to admit that after living around her for three years, I have trouble sorting out the normal from the abnormal because she has changed US and how we live in this house. Her diagnosis from a few years ago was Bi-polar with major depression. She did exhibit some auditory hallucinations two years ago when she kept telling me that people were saying obscene words to her, but has not complained recently. She does tend to be paranoid and seems to think she knows what others are thinking. The one straw that I keep grasping is that she has never really stayed on any medication long enough to see if it works, so I hope that there is that magic combination of medication that might make a difference. We will not be supplying her with another cell phone any time soon. I'm hopeful that she gets connected in with social services and sticks with a program. This is hard. [/QUOTE]
