Borderline Personality Disorder

[Wolf68]

Hello all, this is the first post on mental health although I do post a bit for myself about arthritis and their help and advice has been brilliant.

Do any of you guys have any experience with Borderline Personality Disorder? My beautiful and loving daughter is suffering from this and when it is triggered she becomes verbally and physically aggressive. She has never hurt anyone physically but has smashed things up in the house and her actions have caused rifts in the family with some members of our family just cutting her out of their lives. Don’t get me wrong I understand why and I think she has wanted this herself because these people trigger her episodes and she would rather not have anything to do with them but in some cases it is close family members and friends and I would really love to see their relationship heal.

She is currently on a high and it’s lovely to see, she looks after herself well and her children and wants to make sure everyone is happy, but from experience this is usually the peak of the cycle and it’s hard to enjoy it because I dread what’s coming.

I have read the book Stop Walking On Eggshells which was good and done some research on the internet but I was really wondering if anyone on here has experience of BPD and has any advice on dealing with it?
