From the perspective of ones who have the BPD, can you please define what is a friend in your perspective? I'm so confused about this, being a friend to a borderline myself.

We are in a struggle with our adult-aged daughter (21), who has BPD. From the day she turned 18, she has refused meds, therapy and "fired" her psychiatrist. She has a host of services available to her, including a 3 to 6 month short-term day program which includes DBT. She does not like the rules of our house, which are few: no strangers in the house after 10 pm, no damaging of walls, doors, dishes, ...

I'm sure this topic has been covered on this forum, but was hoping for a bit of a deeper insight. It's very possible that I may just be playing 'google doctor' here, but maybe someone here could shed some insight.

My girlfriend has been diagnosed with BPD. She's been a hugely positive influence on my life, and while there is certainly a plethora of atypical aspects to the relationship (as much from my quirks as hers), I typically like atypical things. She means the world to me.

I want to do my best to support her. She suffers in this world; I feel intimately that she does. She's had a difficult life, and has been ...

Honestly and in all truth, I need help. I want to be her gf, but im finding it very hard just to even be friends.
I dont know if a similar thread is already running or not, but feel free to correct it, moderators, if I'm wrong. I wanted to find a place for suggestions, for help, for advice. I know each BPD person is an individual and different things help different people because people ...
