I have a child with BPD she is 20 and she likes

To devalue herself all the time and say really bad stuff about herself

I try to help her but just don't know what to do anymore. Any suggestion?

Hi frustrated,

It is so sad when our kids put themselves down like this.  They sometimes believe these things about themselves.

Have you tried validating her feelings so that she knows you are listening and understanding how she is feelings?
