I suspect my daughter may have BPD. We are waiting the outcome of a psychiatric assessment. She is 23 and had a complete psychotic episode that lasted several months. It was the scariest thing I have ever faced. Seeing my daughter have a complete mental breakdown and not be aware of her changed behaviour..she was experiencing huge paranoia episodes with some hallucinations. She turned on me when I suggested she may need help. Because of her extremely abusive behaviour towards me, I had to disconnect from her. I feel so guilty

Hi Mirrie,
Welcome. Sorry this is happening to your world. Happy you have found us.
My daughter is diagnosed with Bio-Polar. She refuses to treatment. It is very hard to worry about our children isn't it?
Personally I'd say two things at this point:
1) Do what you need to protect yourself and your self esteem. You will need lots of energy and perspective on this journey.
2) Wait for the diagnosis to come through. In the meantime, keep the boundaries clear, continue to be as supportive as possible without sacrificing your self-esteem.
If you could ask one question as the most pressing one, what would it be right now.
Reach out any time.
Hang in there.

I know I need to work on boundaries. She does have an ARHMS worker but she needs to sign a release for me to talk to her. I am Hoping her worker will giver information on getting services. No one is happy about this pregnancy. Unfortunately she does not have a lot of people to turn to because she acts like a victim and people get sick of it. Her siblings won’t even talk to her. I feel Bad but they are sick of the drama.
Does your child live at home?
