Title: I feel like I am in a viscious cycle. Post by: Maggie P on December 13, 2020, 09:10:33 PM I feel like I am in a viscious cycle. My daughter (33 ) has been diagnosed with BPD. At first it was bipolar and it may also be this but the BPD seems to fit. I seem to be her primary support person (mom) but she can be so manipulative and difficut. Some relationships with friends are struggling and she is despondent. She has a good psychiatrist who is trying to help but she is resistant to treatment. I have talked to her but she ignors me. I am getting very frustrated. I feel manipulated and so tired of these cycles. Im not sure what to do. I know she feels alone and I try to support her but I feel drained. She tells me she just won't be around in a few years and is tired of fighting this. Drinking more and decided to go out on short term disability. I am worried she will lose her job and then have no insurance. Anyone with similar situation?

When you say she is manipulative, what is that like for you? What happens? Short term disability? Is she applying for SSDI? Doesn't disability normally cover health insurance? I want to assure you that you have found a group of people that "get it", we can help you sort through all this. :hug: :hug: :hug: Best, FF |
