My daughter had BPD and has been in a youth mental facility for the past year after trying to stab me. I love her and always will but I don't think I can ever trust her again, especially since she denies the event ever happened. She is almost 16. Does this get better with time? Also how would you manage bpd symptoms and episodes with other young children in the home? We are going to have her home again soon and none of her doctors or therapists have any advice on the subject.

Unfortunately that's the only advice we have gotten even from her mental health team. After three years of family therapy, individual therapy, dbt, cbt, and several stays in institutions and thousands dollars in medical debt we are still where we started.

Everyone is. Its okay. There isn't an easy answer with this disorder i just wish there was more support for care givers and families. I don't want my other children to be traumatized by her behavior or having ambulances and police at our home, not to mention she comes and goes so frequently it throws them off as well. We are considering a group home for her until we can get her an apartment and set up with a support team.

When I try to go to bed at night I will have terrible anxiety. Flood after flood of adrenaline, racing thoughts, racing heart rate, but when I take a nap none of that happens. What is the difference? How can I make the bedtime anxiety stop?
