like mary said, finding a quality therapist for bpd is difficult but not impossible.
just remember there will be ups and downs throughout the healing process. and it will take time.
just keep your head up and remember that it will get better.View Thread

i know that the feelings you are both talking about are difficult to over come and i do think that you are both mentally ill. i am not a doctor and i don't have the answers but i can say that i had some of the same feelings you are experiencing when i was 13. if you are truely a child borderline then you need to get help now before you are like me. i am 27 and in the first stable home i have ever known. it takes a lot out of a person to act like nothin bothers you on the outside while on the inside you just scream and cry and wish someone understood what is going on in your head!
Omega,
i hate to tell you this but i agree with mary that you are not a borderline but i do think you need some counselling at the least. there are so many things that could be the issue but like i told nicole i am not a dr so i can't diagnose you. please please seek out a therapist that will help you. the feelings that you are experiencing at the age of 26 are not normal!
Sincerely,

venting on here is a wonderful way of coping. i am glad this is available to ppl like us.
i am also a survivor of abuse but mine was my stepmom. if it makes you feel better, you will get thru this.
as for feeling alone, i can be in a roomful of people that i know and love and still feel that way. it is because i am different and i put on a face or front for everyone around me so that they don't get close enough to hurt me or to really know who i am. but when i cut those same ppl out of my life it hurts me more than if i had let them get to know the real me.
i don't get on here as often as mary and i am glad that she is here for you. but if you need to vent this is the best place to do it.
i will be in touch when i can get online again.
HUGS!!!!

I am a survivor of BPD and depression. i know what it is like to feel like you have no options as i imagine your husband is feeling right now. i have been on all three of the medications that you listed and wanted to remind you that different medications work for different ppl.
as for the bpd i can give you a couple of book titles that were helpful to me if you would like.
it is said that knowing your triggers is important, and i am not saying it isn't, but for a borderline sometimes the triggers are always different. i learned that a long time ago and i have been fighting bpd and depression most of my life. it wasn't until about 6 years ago that i was diagnosed and it took a therapist that knew what to look for to figure it out.
something you could try is calling a few therapists in your area and seeing if they have experience in diagnosing and dealing with borderlines.
just remember if he has bpd there is not a "cure" but there is help out there. and it will get a lot worse before it gets better if he has it. as he works thru the issues in therapy it will get better though.
i hope that this is helpful but if not i apologize. i would not mind providing you with more information as time goes on but at the moment i am being called away by children.
Sincerely,
