Hello and Welcome to the boards,
chevymom! You've come to the right place for support as you navigate your relationship with your newly diagnosed daughter. Many of us have felt hopeless, lost, these relationships are so intense.
Here, you will find a very supportive, non-judgmental group of parents who are traveling similar paths, you are not alone.
Grief is definitely part of the process, something I only recently realized, with the help of my T (therapist) and family here.
Is your daughter accepting of her diagnosis? Receiving any post-treatment services? How about you? Are you seeing a T? Many of us have found working with a T that specializes in BPD to be invaluable.
Reaching out here is a great way to build your support network. Continue posting here, reading and posting in other's threads - it will help you to feel connected to the community.
I'm sure others will be along shortly to welcome you. In the meantime, I encourage you to read and learn all you can about BPD. A good place to start is the thread pinned to the top of this board,
HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS SITE. It has some of our best articles and lessons - take it at your own pace and come back here with any questions/comments. We are here for you and we want to help.
Again,
~ OH
