Hi there. You asked in the other thread if I had any advice about BPD. I could only say really unless it's something specific to look on Amazon for a book called "Stop walking on Eggshells" it's a book about how to cope for the carers of Borderline sufferers.
There's also a lot of Literature by a woman called Marsha Linehan. She's specialised in BPD for years. We have the Manual and the textbook of exercises which is highly recommended. Skills Training Manual for Borderline Personality Disorder. Or... got to www.borderlineuk.co.uk you might be able to get some info off of there.
Hope this is helpful?

Thanks so much Izzy...I will be interested in checking out all the suggestions that you provided...thank you for taking the time. The gal that I'm sponsoring, T, went ballistic in the sober living home that she lives in the other night...we all talked her down, but it got pretty intense...she was right on the border of drinking and using again. But, thankfully, she did not...we talked about other avenues which she could have implemented versus lashing out at the other girls she lives with, and although those tools never came to her mind, she understands why her behavior was not acceptable...yesterday was better, and today she is doing really well, we're gonna go to a meeting together at 5:00 pm today. Thank you again.
Talking her down was the right thing to do... if you have any other questions I'll email you my email address...
Good luck with your girl...

Thanks Izzy. I'm planning to go to the "Family" BBQ at the sober living home where T is residing. Her family, is still kinda detached from her...I believe they want her to get a little more time under her belt before they start interacting with her again. How are you doing? Hope you are well.
I've not been very well lately... having bad thoughts again... want to quit drinking real bad but it's really hard... I'm at a point where I'm not going forwards or backwards and it's frustrating...

Hey Izzy keep posting and read the i don't want to drink thread , and gratitude thread all of them. I know you are getting a hard time waiting for appointments etc. Did you manage to find any AA contacts in your area? As it does help to quiet the addictive urges in my head. Keep posting and post about whats pis*ing you off as it gets it out of your head.
