As usual, the docs are sitting there scratching their heads. For example, I have no reflexes, yet spasms that are driving me nuts. This is definitely an MS episode...probably from the C6-7 lesion that I have, among others. It doesn't help the TM though, since that was basically a symp t om of MS...everything that I had gained over a year is now gone. I can get a bit of tow movement on a good day, but that's all.

They are doing physio with me. They asked me today what my goals were (must have been chatting with ppl at the rehab hospital) and I told them that I needed to transfer and bed mobility...the minimum to get home and the rest I can work out with homecare.

My neuro send another neuro for a second opinion. She thinks that my diabetes is playing a part, but the spasms aren't only in the feet, they are also in my thighs. I'm going to go onto Copaxone after discharge. Tried Betaseron and it didn't work. To be able to get onto Tysabri, I have to have also tried Copaxone, so told my neuro that I wanted to get it over with so that I could get onto Tysabri.

It is so strange to read about other people going through the same exact things

I am going through. I am in my late forties, and still have not found a way to

protect myself from " my mother " . My friends don't understand what the big deal

is. No one understands the emotional roller coaster one is put on, and the

deleterious effect it has on mental well being. I have a difficult time after I

have dealt with her, not letting it affect my own household, my kids, my

husband. It is like I have " the golden hour " to race to get on the treadmill,

cheer myself up in some non hurtful way, before the life is sucked out of me for

the day. My mother has cornered the market on all emotion, and as a result,

there is not allowable feelings leftover for anyone else in her presence. And

yet, I feel so ridiculous, for being an adult, and still unable to cope. I have

recently cut off communication from her and my siblings, who are constantly

played by her, in the hopes that they would stop the painful, out of the blue

attacks, recognizing that I must be in a state of desperation to take this

tactic, especially since we all live on a family farm within walking distance of

each other. It has only enraged them further, and launched some destructive

behavior, that is pretty much unforgivable. But I haven't been able to come to

terms with it and have been ruminating far too much, making myself sad.

Hi Angele,

Welcome to the Group. I hope you're receiving some comfort in discovering that

we here understand all too well what you're going through RE having a bpd mother

and siblings. I've found it true that the " normals " , those who were lucky

enough to grow up with relatively mentally healthy parents, just Do Not Get It.

I'm afraid that all I can offer you is my empathy, and emotional support. When

you are literally enmeshed with your family of origin, your finances intertwined

(?) living with them on the same property, setting boundaries is going to be

exponentially compounded in difficulty.

Maybe you can start by reading some of the books about borderline pd. If you

haven't read these already, they get recommended often here: Surviving A

Borderline Parent, Understanding The Borderline Mother, Toxic Parents,

Co-Dependent No More, Boundaries, Stop Walking On Eggshells & Randi Kreger's

newer books, and others.

There is a reading list with more selections at the home page of the website

" BPD Central.com " that this support group is a part of:

http://www.bpdcentral.com/index.php

I really feel for you, its like they've ganged up on you for requesting some

normal, reasonable boundaries. I'm concerned that you could become depressed by

this (because, holy cow, it would depress the crap out of me.)

Is there a possibility that you can see a therapist, one that is familiar with

treating the family members of those with pds? It does help to have

face-to-face contact with another person who " gets it. "

Keep posting when you can; sometimes just being able to vent is therapeutic.

-Annie

Hi Angele,

Really glad you joined us! I can sympathize with you about your friends. I

have a friend who worked in the social services area and knows a lot about

mental health issues. She looked at me and said, I met your mom and she

seems real nice. Then she waved off my problems and the conversation moved

on. I was shocked because she's someone I admire and I thought for sure she

would understand. Many of my other friends don't get it either. I don't

think they know how to respond or how to comfort me. It's been terribly

frustrating and I've started to realize that I can't talk to others about my

mom's abnormal behavior. That's where the support group came in.

There are some other resources available to you (although I have found this

support group to be the most helpful so far). The support groups through

the National Alliance on Mental Illness helpful. They also offer a Family

to Family class which is for family members dealing with mental illness in

their family. It's not specific to BP but they do cover BP. It sounds like

you live in an area where everyone knows everyone which might make it hard

to attend a meeting and stay anonymous. I would suggest you look for a

group in the closest larger city where you might be able to participate

confidentially. This will help you with educating yourself about mental

illness in general. The support groups sometimes bring in speakers which is

nice. Mine brought in someone to talk about brain injuries and another

person to talk about legal issues. You might be able to find a friend that

has a family member with BP there too.

BP can actually be passed on from mother to daughter, from what I

understand. There's a book called Lost in the Mirror which discussed how

society makes BP women. This might help you to better understand your

family members. Also, everyone has buttons that others can push to trigger

us into getting angry. Identifying your buttons and your family members

buttons can be helpful so you know what not to push, and you can recognize

when they're pushing your buttons.

There's also this thing called " mindfulness " (being in the moment-check the

web for more info). I heard it helps BPs and BP family members in managing

stress.

Hang in there! Now that you found us, things should get easier!
