Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Hi @Artvandalay
Here is my thread where I talk about the boundaries. (If you start at page 1 it may make more sense). There is also a link to previous thread in the first post detailing how our discussion on both boundaries began.
Hope this is of some help.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Still in hospital due to erratic blood sugar levels @Former-Member. Appointment with oncologist went well aparently. She was confident that a minor change to meds (cancer treatment related) will get the blood sugar levels under control. We will go and see her again tomorrow at the hospital.
I am feeling bad that I find visiting so hard and overly emotional. Thankfully no one has noticed yet.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
We took the children Christmas shopping today. I have decided I am definatly getting worse when it comes to claustrophobia in crowds. We came home earlier than planned and I slept for almost 2 hours.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
@Determined, when it comes to Christmastime, I'm OK with crowds, but department stores drive me around the bend at any time, double plus so at Christmas. Guess who's family never ever gets gifts bought from the assorted capital letter etc. stores. 😛 Good thing they enjoy my "alternate" style pressies. Vintage treasures and suchlike.
Hope your nap was a good recharge. And that your MIL's medication adjustment do help.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
I have yet to find a bloke that enjoys Christmas shopping (let alone in crowded shops) @Determined 😀. Do you feel the same if you go to Bunnings with a specific purchase in mind?
Gather something must have gone pear shaped yesterday, trust they have settled.

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
Nothing any more pearshaped yesterday than any other day, just got lots on and everything getting on top of me. Darling told me on more than one occasion that I am an obnoxious belligerent arsehole despite everything I am doing (or trying to do) to keep everything running smoothly. 😞

Re: Supporting my wife who lives with Borderline Personality Disorder while maintaining self care.
I know I probably do need to lighten up a bit but it would be nice if I got some help with that lol. Mum needs to hurry up and come home so we can go for another long bike ride lol. (She is out of town visiting one of the siblings atm).
We (I) had an intake consultation yesterday for S1 and NDIS which I went to alone. (Darling can't cope with parent teacher interviews at school, this would have really sunk her).
That was intense and I was feeling more than a little lacking in parenting skills after answering 2 hours of questions.
