Title: I just want to give up Post by: Rome2016 on March 15, 2019, 12:32:12 PM My daughter just turned 21, she was diagnoses with BPD about 3 years ago after her 2nd visit to an Eating Disorder institute. Every so often I think she is making progress, then she takes 3 steps back and I feel we are at the beginning again.
I'm sad, disappointed and frustrated. Will she ever get better? When? Title: Re: I just want to give up Post by: Only Human on March 15, 2019, 12:59:46 PM Hello Rome2016 and *welcome*
I'm so sorry for what has brought you here but I'm really glad you found us. Having a diagnosis is something - a starting point, though as you say, it's frustrating. Can you tell us a bit more about what's happening right now? It helps to have more information so we know how to best support you. I want you to know you're not alone...we are all here learning together, supporting each other on our journeys. Again, Welcome! ~ OH Title: Re: I just want to give up Post by: wendydarling on March 15, 2019, 01:38:23 PM Hello Rome2016 :hi: :hi: :hi:
I join Only Human welcoming you to the forum, I'm also glad you've reached out for support and hope you learn as much as I have here these last 4 years. My DD (dear daughter) spent a year in outpatient therapy at 18 for her eating disorder (no progress) and was finally diagnosed BPD co-morbid at 26 when she hit crisis, hospitalised for self harm. Today following 14 months outpatient DBT, meds she's doing well, she understands and is able to help herself. I recognise the 3 steps forwards you describe, one back, one back, two forwards... it was like sliding doors for us. We're here walking alongside you, things can get better. Hope. WDx |
