Hey y’all. For a while I’ve been wondering if both of my siblings are possibly bipolar or have borderline personality disorder. I’ve done some research, and some of the “symptoms” (idk if that is the right term) match up. For example, when my little sister was younger, she ran away because she thought my mother had abandoned her when in reality my father was at home in our study and one of the symptoms of BPD is fear of abandonment. Additionally, when she and my older sister make a mistake they sometimes will hurt themselves which is honestly pretty disturbing to watch. I also feel like they get really upset quickly even if a joke was made and especially in my younger sister I’ve noticed mood swings. She’s ten now, so I guess it could be because of puberty, but when I get mood swings it’s mostly just depression or irritation but I don’t think someone would notice unless I told them. Anyway, I really want to be able to help my siblings because it really makes me upset to see them so upset, even if they sometimes lash out at me when I don’t think I’m in the wrong. But my older sister is almost seventeen and I realized she’s at the age where she has so much stress and is so removed from my family that if I can’t help her, she could really harm herself. It has also occurred to me that maybe they both are fine but just are so stressed out. I mean, the world is getting to be a really scary place so I don’t blame them. What should I do? I know they will be offended if they are tested for personality disorders but if it is best for them maybe I should try to convince my mom? Thanks for reading this. Please let me know your thoughts
