My roommates cousin who is also a very dear person to me has BPD and a few other things. When shes on her meds things rlly do improve for her but there so expensive she cant afford them. The best you can do is be there for them and also keep a look out for certain behaviours. If they refuse meds see if theyd be willing to do cousling. Dilectical Behaviour Therapy is a great way to help with BPD.

The thing is that this person does not want anything.to do with any type of treatment whatsoever. Is very hard headed, very stubborn in age old ways. To the point that none of her children want anything to do with her now at this stage in her life. If they do, it's just to see what they can get out of her when they are in some type of need themselves.

I do understand about the person being very dear, because they are in their good, sweet moods. Which don't last for too long tho

@Teddybear: Sadly then the only option there can be if there bad enough is time it wisely and firce them to get help. If they show dangerous behaviours (my friend will take sever risks that put her life on the line) call 911 sady they will hav no choice but to get treatment then and that should only be last resort
