Hello,

I have a younger sister that has been diagnosed with BPD. I am trying to learn about this, so that I can save her relationship with me and the rest of our family.

We have quite a lot of information which can help you understand BPD, and how to better communicate with a emotionally dysregulating (some would saw "raw" person. This may help to get you started:

Hi Deerdevil,

Welcome to the site. Most people on in this section also have a close relative with BPD. Those with BPD do tend to have predictable behaviour, and hence if you do wish to discuss behaviour in more detail you will probably be surprised at how many people have also experienced this strange behaviour in their own relative. A good way of learning is for you to highlight difficult or worrying behaviour that you want help dealing with. Those with a PD tend to go the other way as they have no need to learn, as they perceive the problem is nothing to do with them. Anyway welcome and feel free to share your thoughts.
