Hi there , this is my first time here. I have been struggling for years to understand my spouses behaviour. He has recently been diagnosed with BP and started out with therapy but after 3 therapists, no longer seeks help (because nobody can help). I’ve been thinking of leaving many times and staying in it for the financial side and the kids. Anyone out there in a similar position.? How do you cope?

Hello, I am new to learning about BP but there seems to be a lot of resources online and on youtube. However, I have found that it's more difficult to find in person help and therapy. My bf also saw a therapist who was of no help. Has your husband considered seeing a psychiatrist instead? Has he specifically tried to look for someone that is familiar with BP and hopefully Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DPT)? I think this could really help with his frustrations over someone not understanding him.

Hi Thalia! Welcome!

BPD can be so hard to understand and it's overwhelming all the information out there. That's what we're here for -- to help you on your journey, whatever path you decide to take.

I second Maggie's question. Do the therapists your H has seen specialize in BPD or in DPT? That's a key. BPD is often misunderstood, even in the therapy community, so having someone with experience can make a huge difference. Even then, finding a therapist to connect with can be difficult. In some ways, it's like finding a love mate! Sometimes you click. Sometimes you don't. Frustrated/Unfortunate (click to insert in post)
