I don't have BPD, but I suspect my sister does. However, I don't want to diagnose her with it because I am not a doctor and thus am not qualified to make such a diagnosis.

In the end, I want to encourage my sister to seek help, but she seems to think that *everyone else* is to blame for her extreme emotional reactions to things. I know the saying goes, "you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped." Yet at the same time, I feel there *must* be a way to encourage her to get help.

I have undergone extensive psychological testing myself and have found a team of excellent providers. I am incredibly grateful for everyone who has helped me, and I know that getting help for mental health problems is the best decision I've ever made.

I have done quite a bit of research into BPD (because I thought I had it at one point, but it turns out I have bipolar instead), so I am familiar with the criteria. But I know that  you guys will probably have a bunch of brilliant ideas for me. Thanks!
