Title: 1st time here Post by: kiwigirl on January 06, 2017, 01:38:21 PM Hello,
I am new here & have been reading posts over the last week & it looks like a great place to me to speak. I live in New Zealand & have two young daughters. My husband has been recently diagnosed with BPD, its been a long battle to get this diagnosis. On 31 December he tired to kill himself (2nd time) I am thankful to our local community who pulled him from the ocean during one of his cycles. I am no stranger to his cycles, however I am sick of it. We are waiting for his specialist appointment, where I assume we will go over his history. Unfortunately for my husband, english is his 2nd language so he asks me to attend all appointments. While husband has picked up & continued life from last week, I am emotionally struggling with his latest episode. I'm just not sure where to start?

I hope this attempt will be the catalyst for him to get help. Lots of support here.

I completely understand about what you mean by "he is going on from the last episode, but I am still struggling." My husband just had one of his episodes over the weekend; he just hit his "reset button" and is all fine and happy and I AM STILL hurt and stressed from it. They leave us with unbelievable scars that no one can see. Its the hardest thing ever. I know your pain. xoxo Title: Re: 1st time here Post by: Jack_50 on January 10, 2017, 09:09:00 AM Hello Kiwigirl,
Welcome here. In this place you can vent all you want, so don't hold back. Can I ask what his age is? Also, if he tried to commit suicide, is it possible that his BPD is a symptom of severe depression? Jack |
