Hello, husband dx with BPD & PTSD now in a spiral

[iliketurtles]

Hi everyone, my husband is diagnosed with BPD and suffered repeated sexual trauma as a child so is also diagnosed with PTSD.  He got some bad news at work earlier this week and went into a bad downward spiral, worse than I have ever seen.  I have been in touch with family, his therapist, and my therapist, but am really at a loss and seeking support.  I look forward to connecting with others in this space.
