Hi everyone,

To keep it short my whole life with my mum has been a crazy ass roller coaster. Her addictions, constant drama, crazy mood swings, attachment issues and devilish anger have had me questioning if somethings gone missed all these years. That's when I came across BPD on the Internet. Last night I spoke about the possibility of her having it and when she read about it she couldn't believe how similar the traits were. She felt like all her life was finally making sense. She then took an online bpd questionarre and scored 44 which said likely to have severe bpd. She's going to the doctors today and I was wondering if anyone has any idea of what the process of diagnosis is and who she will be refferd to. We live in the UK. Also I'm interested to know what treatments are available. My mum is worried about taking meds because she got heavily addicted to pain killers a few years ago but if some of you could share experiences of treatment it could give us some insight to whether it's beneficial or not. If we know the med choices out there we could do a bit of research too to see if any seem more suitable than others. Thanks
