Loved One With Borderline Not Wanting Help? Remember This
Published: Mon, 12/29/08
I wanted to send out a quick message about something
I thought about.
It's in reference to the new resource I have:
"How to Get Your Loved One With Borderline Personality Disorder To
The Doctor, Psychiatrist, or Hospital When They Don't Want To Go"
located at:

One big mistake that people make is assuming that
everyone in the mental health system is going to
do the right thing and help your loved one.
It's really odd but you would think that if your loved one
is not stable, screaming and yelling and doing a lot of "bad"
things, people would be falling over themselves to help you
help them, right?
Well in most cases, this is NOT and I repeat NOT the case.
Generally most people in the "system" have to be motivated,
persuaded or even pushed into helping.
Many times, new borderline supporters find themselves confused,
mad and angry. The worst thing is when you have to
start battling the mental health system while at the
same time trying to get your loved one into treatment.
The key thing is to remember is that many times there
is no single person you can outsource or delegate the
task of getting your loved one into treatment. It's going
to have to be you the supporter.
There's a very good chance that the people in the mental
health system will not be helpful at first.
I really don't know why but this is the way it is.
There are lots of techniques and strategies to get them
to help but you never know which of the 10 is going
to work.

I go through a number of them that I have discovered.
So again, don't count on the system make sure you count
on your system. But also remember that you can indeed
turn the people around in the system from not helpful
to helpful after some time.
I know this sounds confusing and it really is but it's
the truth.
Have a great day and see your tomorrow.
