She is never the same person

[Hopefulmom7]

My daughter is 24 and was diagnosed at 16. She  continues to be either very low, or very high, almost euphoric, sometimes in one 24 hour period.   She has destroyed relationships over and over again. It is really hard to offer any help to her as she changes so quickly from being totally hopeless to "on top of the world." 

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Hopefulmom7

I am sorry your daughter is having these problems. BPD is a difficult disorder indeed. The fact that she is diagnosed does mean that you at least know what you are dealing with, but it's still quite challenging.

What led up to your daughter getting diagnosed?

Is your daughter getting any kind of targeted treatment for her BPD?

To help you get started here, I encourage you to take a look at the the tools and lessons in the right-hand side margin of this message board.
