> She is bipolar II, with some borderline personality disorder. We didn't have enough time to go over everything in the last visit, so I assume I will go back in at some point to speak with the doctor again concerning her diagnosis. AS far as being lucky to have me as a mom, I don't know about that! I'm very pushy and controlling! I think I have a part in why she is at least borderline in a way....a lot of guilt here. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. -L
Please don't blame yourself. Borderline Personality Disorder has a strong biological component and there is a push within the psychiatric community to make it an Axis I diagnosis with a new name: Emotion Dysregulation Disorder.
I'm currently in Dialectical Behavior Therapy for my Borderline Personality Disorder and THAT is what has helped me the most. The medication helps me to get better but the THERAPY is what is helping me to get WELL.
