Question by : I want residential therapy…..?
So my parents are taking me to a “counselor” on Thursday. They don’t really think anything is wrong, I mean they kno I usedto self harm but they thought I stopped (which I didn’t). But not only do I self harm, I have anorexia. My parents are the reasons behind both (not joking). I was bullied into an eating disorder by my mom, she would always call me fat & tell me I needed to lose weight so I can b pretty. And whenever I get into a fight with my parents or they yell at me, I feel the need to hurt myself. They have no idea about ANY of this & I won’t tell them because I don’t trust them (long story). But bottom line, I don’t think anything is going to change unless I’m admitted somewhere residental for help. Is there anything I can say to my to the counselor to get her to reccomend this???

Answer by Ganesh63
borderline personality disorder is not an organic mental illness but is manifested over a long period of time as a coping mechanism. Usually people with BPD have been abused as a child, often sexual abuse but not always. They are usually selfish, they like to split people , ie. .’ I really like you but I hate her’. They wil harm themselves sometimes to get attention or go into a mental health unit where it is often hard to get rid of them. They are often narcistic and sabotage relationships. BPD is hard to be cured of but it is possible with Cognitive Behaviour therapy similar treatments , however they take at least 6 months or even 2 years trained therapists. Th…ere will be more and more PDs as our government encourages disfuntional families to breed and neglect their children…mental health nurse
