BDP- looking for a Psychologist for wife of husband with BDP
Hi
I have found myself here after coming to the end of my own strength to cope as a wife of a husband with BPD.
I am wondering if anyone knows a psychologist in south east Melbourne who they could recommend that is familiar with treating the partners of those with BDP?
Looking forward to your suggestions.

We aren't able to suggest the names of people here unfortunately however you could try doing a websearch or using the Australian psychologist registry

Thank you for checking in.
Things are going ok, we have had a few smooth days in a row which has provided some welcomed relief. It was all getting a bit much when I posted this in desperation.
I have found a clinical Psychologist who specialises in BPD, she is booked for the next month so I have taken the next available appointment. It could become an extremely expensive exercise though.
I’m very much looking forward to Family Connections which begins in a few weeks.
I think sometimes it is easy to feel like I’m only just keeping your head above water. 😊

Hi @Rose0 good to hear things are a little better for you at the moment.
Totally understand the posting in desperation as that is pretty much how I arrived here also and I'm sure many others here. The support here has been invaluable. Only just keeping our heads.above water is also a common thread around here. Knowing this often gives me the strength to push on through sharing with people.who truly understand.
Trusting your upcoming appointments are of benefit for you.
