I have a boss who may be BPD.  Everyday is guessing game as to whether I will be a hero or a villain.  The majority of the administrative team is miserable because of this environment created by our boss. I am trying to effectively complete my work and manage my staff under what feels like  her tyranny and wrath.  I am in the midst of a living hell and searching for support and tools.  I am reading, "Stop Walking on Eggshells," to learn to cope and I have ordered the work book. 

I also have an estranged sister who we believe may also be a BPD.  As a child, life was a challenge living with an older sibling who took her extremes out on the family.  It has haunted me into adulthood and now I have a boss with very similar traits and it is a nightmare.  I need to learn to work through the situations until I find a new position.

Hi 3ts,

I'd like to welcome you to bpdfamily, I'm sorry that you had a difficult childhood because of a sibling with BPD traits. I'd like to suggest a book to you, Dr Friedel had a sister Denise that suffered from BPD, she wasn't diagnosed or treated, there wasn't really adequate treatment then, Borderline Personality Disorder Demystified, read as much as you can about the disorder. You'll quickly become see the benefits and become proficient over time. Can you describe what's going on in your office?
