My Daughter's Struggle

[momofbpdgirl]

Hi, My daughter attempted suicide this month and is OK physically; however, struggling emotionally. Her diagnosis was just changed from severe depression and anxiety to borderline personality disorder. She is in an outpatient center now and we are considering expanding her treatment to intensive outpatient. I am reading as much as I can now about BPD and hoping to find some online support for her and our family. We are located in Palm Beach County Florida. Any information on support opportunities that are know and trusted are appreciated. I hope to become active in this group as we navigate this next chapter.

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 momofBPDgirl  

Welcome to bpdfamily.  

I'm sorry what brings you here and glad to hear your daughter is ok physically and I understand when you say she's struggling emotionally, as I was in a very similar devastating situation to you 3 years ago when I joined as are many parents here, you are not alone on this path, next chapter, as parents we are here to support you.  

I'm glad you've reached out for support and learning here with us, the resources are world class. How old is your daughter and what behaviours have you been dealing with in addition to depression and anxiety that is more than often also present.

How old is your daughter momofBPDgirl? What kind of online support are you thinking of for your daughter, in addition to treatment?

Welcome momofBPDgirl,
I am new to this site but it is a wonderful source of support. 14 years ago my husband and I attended a 2 day BPD Family Connection conference and it was amazing.It was very helpful to learn communication techniques and inform ourselves.Hang in there.
Prayers,
Tinkerbelle
