All messages to the board will be reviewed before they are sent to the board. Messages that do not conform to the rules below will not be added to the bulletin board. This is for your protection so that there will be no flaming, no inappropriate posts, no family members, clinicians, etc. This is not a place for families, friends or clinicians. Your messages will not be posted .
Families have their own un-moderated bulletin board here .
Also there are many excellent resources on the Internet for families of borderlines such as email support groups. Suicidal ideation and discussions of suicide are permitted as long as you are not at immediate risk. Thoughts of suicide are normal for many of us as we suffer depression, etc. We need to discuss these things openly. I have written a suicide crisis intervention section for you including many resources here .
