Title: My daughter with bpd Post by: Furkin on February 12, 2025, 07:01:28 AM As a mom it is so difficult and tiring to not only keep up on one's own mental health issues but that of a adult child's bpd. My 23 year old daughter last year had a devastating break up with her fiance after a medicine change that put her in a whirlwind of emotions and pychosis. That was February 2024. Then July 2023 she tried to od on medication and ended up in mental institute for over a week. The medicine helped for a little bit until recently. She now realizes what she did and what she has lost and wants to die daily if she can't be with her fiance. I don't want to give her false hope but just enough to get to the otherwise of this. Everytime she gets a therapist they leave. So she just feels like no one wants her to get better. Everyday is a struggle. Every emotion is intense. This mama is tired. But never too tired to love her and help her.

(I know it is mentally exhausting, my pwBPD is the last thing I think of at night and the first thing in the morning (going on 3 years now)
