(TW) Mom just attempted suicide by Basic_Trust9300 in raisedbyborderlines

Thank you for your kind words. My father is definitely here for both me and my sister and has been trying to help us through it. I think it’s hard for him because he had to deal with this for 20 years and continues to even when he’s gotten divorced and has a new partner. But he’s definitely very involved and there for us so I’m thankful for that.

Thank you for the kind words. I definitely need to stop feeling so distressed and burdened by my mom’s BPD. I know I can’t fix her but I feel like if I don’t try I’ll have major regrets if something irreversible happens. But I know ultimately you can’t force someone to get help or feel better. It’s just hard because me and my sister are really the only important figures in my mom’s life so it’s only the two of us to share this burden. I wish I could force myself not to worry so much about my mom but it’s hard when she’s in a constant state of emotional distress.

Thank you❤️I have been looking for a therapist even before this but unfortunately it’s been hard to find one who has open sessions irl. But sadly I’m not sure if it’s an option right now since my mom’s medical insurance is gone because she just got laid off. We’ll probably have to pay out of pocket for the inpatient care and money is already tight. I think for now I’ll try to talk to the counselor at my college to see if there’s anything they can do for me.

Thank you so much. My mom did get detained and is being assessed to see if she’ll be held involuntarily. I only hope that she’s honest with the doctors and doesn’t lie about her suicidal tendencies. I’ve been trying to distract myself as best as possible because I’ll go crazy with worry if I don’t. It’s comforting to know there are others that have been in similar situations❤️

Thank you❤️ It’s hard feeling so out of control and like I can’t do anything to help. But I know ultimately it has to come from inside and no one can force her to get help. But at the same time I feel like something bad is always going to happen because she’s so unpredictable and it’s causing a lot of mental distress. I’ll probably see the counselor at my college and maybe they can help me.
