I (17f) was diagnosed with bpd in December. My mother did not believe that I had a mental illness and said that it was just my teenager hormones. You could easily tell that there was something wrong with me, I had so many suicidal attempts that I lost count, I self harmed, got into fights/arguments, was always either extremely angry or sad, got so paranoid that someone was gonna break into my house that I slept with a knife under my bed, I’ve also always had extreme fascinations with knives and tried to stab my sister (yes I was hospitalized after this), jumped out of moving cars frequently, abused alcohol, and experience extreme dissociation since i was 14. Let’s not get into my relationships but they are 20x worse. Anyway, my mom has witnessed alll of this and has been told my diagnosis by multiple doctors and she STILL does not believe that i’m mentally ill. Mental illnesses run through my family, my brother has schizophrenia and my sister has extreme anxiety. She believes both of them but not me. I feel like the only way she will believe me is if I successfully commit. Today, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist but I was in school. I called her multiples times to tell her to pick me up but she ignored me. She took me off my medication 3 weeks ago and when i texted her telling her i needed to talk to my doctor she responded by saying that I was fine. She told the doctor the same thing without me being able to say anything to him. I haven’t gone home yet but i know it’s gonna be a shit show. Any words of advice? Does anyone else’s mother do this?
