Less than two months ago my teen was diagnosed with BPD. I had no idea what that meant other than mood swings and other symptoms. With her current meds and constant doctor monitoring of her meds I felt that things would be ok and eventually they would just "kick in" and she would become a normal happy teen. I was more than beyond wrong. This week she hit the worst low I have ever witnessed from anyone. First came the anxiety, then hours of tears and not wanting to live like this, then sudden disconnect and blankly she looks at me speaking of another voice asking her to "let go". Of course I was holding whatever body part she allowed me to touch trying to calmly give love and comfort while discreetly texting her doctor in sheer panic. She eventually wore out and slept for nearly twenty hours. This pattern has continued all through the week until it slowed up last night with a new med from the doc. (Never mind the fact that school is starting to suffer and she has slipped from straight A and honor roll to struggling B's and C's. Devastating to her as she is a freshman in highschool and feels she has lost her scholarship chances. I reassure her that we can do anything and then hide to cry, pray, and wait till she is at school to scour the internet for answers.) Does ANYONE have any thoughts? I have never been more scared for her as when she didn't speak in her own voice and spoke of "we". She has NEVER done this before...new territory.
