praying for you and sending you strength and love If you are able to, it may be of benefit to consider what goes into the development of a BPD management plan and the suggested principles of response during a crisis. There is what may be helpful guidance available from the guidelines in the link below. It takes you to a site where you can download a pdf. The pages of special concern to you are pp124 - 132. On page 137, there is also a template for a management plan. This is based on the latest research, it was published for clinicians just this month (in Aust): Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of BPD (Aust)Please let us know how it goes, Vivek

I am so sorry. To be 18 and want to die - before having the chance to really live is heartbreaking. I pray your daughter will survive and have the opportunity to get help to see beyond the crisis of the moment to all that life has to offer in the future.
We cannot watch them 24/7. We cannot always keep them safe, but we can love and support them and trust in God to help us survive yet another crisis. Mental illness is devastatingly cruel to those who are afflicted by it and everyone who loves them.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

I hope your dd recovers and can try to try again to live her life without the pain... . I am glad she is okay and hopefully will recover fully... .

Mamfum
My own son called last night to say he was so sick of everything and not being able to find work that he was considering violating his parole and going back to prison or dying. He is 39. He says he has done everything right since his conviction for refusal to test (Felony DUI) in 2006 and no one will give him a chance. We talked for a long time. He is off supervision in 10 months and then will be free to leave the area. He hates it here, but I worry that things will not change no matter where he goes.
I read that pwBPD are 400 to 800% more likely to attempt or commit suicide than the general population. That is terrifying.
I often feel like my son is on loan to me from God. He could be your daughter at any time. It is hard for us to imagine life can be so horrible that the only alternative is death. He called me 6 times last night very hyper and we talked until 230am before he calmed down. Is he ok? I do not know the answer to that. I hope and pray he will be. He hates this town, hates the house where he lives rent free, hates the neighbors (he is convinced they are all watching him and his phone is tapped). Some days he is afraid to leave the house. I have begged him to seek medical help but then he says he is just venting and he is fine... .
There but for the grace of God go we. Many of us here can relate to your fear and frustration. I truly hope your daughter gets the professional help she needs. Since she is 18, you may need to proceed with involuntary commitment to keep her safe. Just do what you have to do.
No parent deserves this. BPD sucks... . we are all victims.

Mamfum,
Thank you for the update. I can only imagine the pain you are in.
I pray that God will bring people into her life that will be able to reach her where she is and comfort her. I pray that God will send you peace and rest.
