My mum

[Jessicab6797]

So for context my mum has Borderline Personality Disorder and I've lived through some awful stuff through my 20 years on this earth to do with her mental health issues.
We fell out and she told me she tried to jump off a bridge.
(I have tried to do a bit of research over the years on BPD and I know that they feel things 1000x more than people without BPD do, so to a 'normal' person this would be classed as an overreaction, but to my mum this is the 'norm')
Luckily, before she could actually do it (yes she was absolutely set on doing it) a random cyclist who was cycling past dragged her down and phoned the police.

Throughout my life, my mum has taken hundreds of overdoses. But this kind of attempt really threw me off.
I am feeling very shaken and I just basically really need someone to talk to about it.
Maybe someone who has a parent or someone very close to them who has BPD.

Thank you 💗

This is really very sad and I am sorry for your mum, but i must be unspeakably hard for you. As you most probably already know, your mum needs professional help, which as her daughter you could never be in a position to provide.
You@Jessicab6797 are not responsible for her choices or her poor mental health.
You are responsible for yourself and your own mental health. This might mean not being available to deal with her symptoms and their consequences, or choosing to no longer have any information about them, and if that is the case, that's absolutely fine. You must look after yourself, first and foremost and build and live the life that you want and need.
Please take care of yourself lovely.
