@DeterminedMy husband also saw a psych nurse who advised him to leave me as I was unable to meet all his needs which in her opinion made me selfish and ungrateful.

@Stacey_N, Why are clinicians so clueless? How damaging it must be to have a clinician be so dismissive and not even acknowledge your efforts to share your experience in the hope of giving insight into your husband's mental state and it's impacts on you as his primary supporter.

It sounds like it can be quite a hard time to work through negative experiences with health professionals - @Stacey_N how do you manage to keep trying and keep reaching out when these experiences have happened??

It really took us down a wasted path as the treatment my husband received was not of any benefit. It was very basic, not beneficial to the complexity of BPD. I hear from so many people that the help professionals won't listen. We have the best understanding of our loved one, what their symptoms are, when it's turning into a crisis etc. I don't know whether it has anything to do with confidentiality but it is very frustrating and often listening to the carer could prevent a crisis situation.
