Title: My Daughter's Struggle Post by: momofbpdgirl on October 01, 2018, 10:40:17 AM Hi, My daughter attempted suicide this month and is OK physically; however, struggling emotionally. Her diagnosis was just changed from severe depression and anxiety to borderline personality disorder. She is in an outpatient center now and we are considering expanding her treatment to intensive outpatient. I am reading as much as I can now about BPD and hoping to find some online support for her and our family. We are located in Palm Beach County Florida. Any information on support opportunities that are know and trusted are appreciated. I hope to become active in this group as we navigate this next chapter.

I am new to this site but it is a wonderful source of support. 14 years ago my husband and I attended a 2 day BPD Family Connection conference and it was amazing.It was very helpful to learn communication techniques and inform ourselves.Hang in there. Prayers, Tinkerbelle |
