Hello wandell, welcome

Glad that you are here looking for ways to help support your uBPDD (undiagnosed BPD daughter).

You say that she is very sensitive, has struggled with relationships and has strong black/white thinking, there are tools to the right  |--->  that could help. Maybe you could look at Validate the Valid, to help with her sensitive feelings. It is her feelings that need to be validated not her thoughts or actions, so could be a good starting point for you x

Hi Wandell  

I join Feeling Better in welcoming you to our online parents forum, I'm glad you joined us for support, as you seek ways to support your daughter. Does she live with you?

Does your daughter acknowledge she is struggling, that something is not quite.  :)o you think she'd ben open to treatment?

Look forward to hearing back from you.
