"Second opinion" was the first thing we tried, chemonro, but it got co-opted. They just put in another one of their team, equally arrogant, who had not seen her. She "listened" to what we had to say, then virtually parroted identical words to the previous one. She was astonished we weren't buying it and said to me, "I want you to repeat back to me exactly what I said" like you would to a six year old kid. I just lost it and she tried to put me into care.
Our daughter's response to this one, in a lucid moment, was, "ah another one that took up psychiatry to find out what was wrong with her."
Anyway all this conflict with the hospital is not in any way productive. I have found a health care fund that lets you keep offspring covered until age 23, and though I've had to bump up the cover, we will be free of the public system and their ever-so-doubtful BPD diagnoses in a couple of months.
In the meantime, she is actually inpatient, they gave up on their hard line. We are required by the landlord to move house, and this time we'll choose something that might be more safe for her where she can't fling herself off the balcony. By then, you never know, she might even stabilize.
