Not on any medication. She denied the diagnosis completely a few years ago I guess because she finds the idea of having a mental disorder insulting, and is very sensitive about it. I don't think it's a good idea to bring it up because of potentially putting her through another distressful episode.
It's pretty clear now that a doctor should really handle this. But I also think developing strategies for conversation might help.
Has anyone else supported someone with BPD or something similar? I'd like to hear how you handle it if so...
