[Throwaway account, for obvious reasons.]

I'm pretty sure my wife has BPD. To me, it seems hopeless for her to get treated. I haven't brought it up with her, I expect that would go poorly. One of the main symptoms is that she feels attacked by people even when they are making innocent comments on things. It is not just me who as noticed that. I have discretely brought it up with some others who know her and they have confirmed it. She has cut ties to her family as they are "toxic people".

Based on my readings, I understood that most psychiatrists think treatment is unlikely to work. If there is hope, that would be amazing. It is a difficult condition to live with, both for her and people who know her.
