Advice

[Lizzie51]

Good morning
My 20yr daughter has been recently diagnosed with BPD and an eating disorder, anxiety depression ocd , substance abuse and perfectionist traits...she admitted herself into an acute ward last Wednesday and they have let her out on leave back to her home address . On the ward she refused food for the entire stay 8 days and counting ...
I’m at my wits end she self harmed whilst in the ward and has voiced her suicidal ideation daily ...not sure what my question really is but I’m so angry right now...looking for advice from parents who have experienced similar situations as I’m feeling alone

Our objective is to better understand the struggles our child faces and to learn the skills to improve our relationship and provide a supportive environment and also improve on our own emotional responses, attitudes and effectiveness as a family leaders

Hi Lizzie51  

Welcome. I'm so sorry, I've been in a similar situation (2015), at my wits end, the world tipped upside down, you are not alone. I have in the past written here the list of behaviours you describe..    and its truly overwhelming and complex isn't it, where does one start! My daughter has turned it around and is managing well, I offer you hope.

Is follow up treatment in place, will your daughter engage? Does she have access to a Crisis Team?
