Title: Getting a diagnosis Post by: Who even is she? on November 21, 2017, 07:22:05 AM I am 99% sure my partner has BPD.
We have talked about it in the past and I feel like she might jump on board, but need to know how to go about it. Today I'm painted black. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? All I know is I need a diagnosis to hold on to, because I'm tired of being pushed and pulled in every direction and questioning her as a person. I need something to work with & I think she would appreciate it too. Thoughts?

shes working with mental health professionals, yes? most would not be inclined to make such a diagnosis until after addressing the drug problem. but the silver lining is that you have a label and framework to inform you, and tools that work. whats been going on since we last spoke? did you attend her appointment? what happened that has you painted black? |
