Glad to be here

Hello. I am glad to find this family! I have an adult son who I suspect has BPD, though not diagnosed and likely won't be because he is not open to help. I have an appointment for therapy for me coming up in a couple of weeks but I don't think this person deals largely in BPD.
My biggest issue today is my constant anxiety that my son will go off into anger and rage, turning on a dime, which just makes my anxiety go through the roof. I worry that he will go off, and then when he does I feel worse. He sometimes says he will commit suicide, and also that he will kill his dog, who is the closest being to him because he can't relate to people. The biggest thing I need today is a way to deal with life, and with these explosive episodes, without all this anxiety.
Thank in advance.
