I can't handle it anymore, she was only dx'ed a couple of months ago, I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions so I can communicate with her without it getting all twisted back on me, or having my head ripped off. I broke her trust by involving the family because I can't do this alone anymore, she has been mutilating herself, nearly broke her arm, cut her legs to shreads, smashed her face etc.. I need help with suggestions so we can talk. We share a house and without trying to sound selfish I have suffered from alcoholism, depression, GAD, and SP for years. I have been sober for almost six months and I'm having trouble dealing with my own issues at the moment let alone hers. Everyone keeps telling me to move out but I could never do this. I took her in as an I/V drug users 2 and a half years ago. And she has been doing AMAZINGLY until things went weird about 4 months ago. It took me 2 months to get her to see a GP, who refered her to a T and now under great duress a pdoc. Who has her on lithium and seroquel. I have been around the block in my day and I know without a shadow of a doubt that she hasn't been using at all. I can walk on egg shells anymore. I feel like it's time to help her or leave for my own preservation. She thinks I only told the family because I need support, which is true because she doesn't think that there is anything wrong with her at all. ALL HELP APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!! C
