Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
@Former-Member this seems to have settled for the moment apart from skipping the occasional part dose. Assuming of course she is not just tossing them out to make it look like she is taking them. withdrawal usually makes it easy to pick up though so I don't believe that is the case.
Both GP and dietitian were both clear in their advice that any change needed to be in consultation with her pdoc. And I think how unwell she was when she stopped altogether was a bit of a wake up also. I expect that she will be discussing this with the PC at next appointment.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Had an exam today at UNI and got the usual pre-exam phone call from Darling.
Fortunately for me she missed the timing and I was already in the exam and could not answer.
She is complaining tonight that she feels anxious and unwell and has taken her allocated PRN for the day.
I have one more test to do this week so hoping after that is over she may lighten up a bit.
I am feeling guilty for feeling so unmoved and cynical about it all but the behaviour is so predictable...
Times when I could use some love and support are the times when the wheels fall off .

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Had another test today to be done online after I finished my work shift.
As predicted I received a text by 8am saying how unwell darling was feeling
We survived the day however and I did ok on my test.
Family day out tomorrow .

Family day went well @Former-Member and less stressful than I was expecting.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Feeling soooo stressed this ave
Darling is depressed and worried about her.
Trying to sort out a dispute with electrical provider and have managed to loose some critical documents.
Still have roof issues outstanding that I was confident should have been sorted by now,
and not getting any UNI assessment work done at all...
Add to all of that I have a meeting with a child and teacher at school tomorrow to discuss acceptable and respectful behaviour. (currently has absolutely no insight about his attitude and how it affects those around him)
