Might you tell us more about your situation and the loved one with BPD? Are you referring to your son? Title: Re: So hard Post by: Sancho on September 05, 2022, 05:32:40 PM Hi LovesHIm
I saw a presentation once given by a doctor whose brother was schizophrenic. The brothers had grown up very close to each other. The doctor brother couldn't understand why the other kept going off his medication and causing chaos and not realising what was happening. Then he came to understand that this lack of insight was part of the mental illness itself. It is unbelievably frustrating and also can make one feel cornered - ie you are left as the only one carrying the load of the other's pain and dysfunction. At the point where you have done/said all that you can, time to focus on yourself a little. |
