Self-help is useful, but it is not a substitute for professional assistance. Emotional and behavioral problems can be debilitating and dangerous. Please seek professional help: 

if you have thoughts of killing yourself or harming others;
if you feel depressed, anxious, guilty or down on yourself frequently; 
if you are abusing substances; if your performance or interpersonal relationships are impaired.

"Our purpose is to give information.. We can not, and are not, assuming the role of your physician or therapist in any of our replies. 

We also do not know your other medical problems and psychiatric diagnoses, which usually have a dramatic effect on medication (and other treatment) recommendations. You must make a medical and treatment plan with your physician and therapist(s).

Cheryl has unselfishly volunteered her time to answer emails from consumers who have the borderline personality disorder or their family members and friends as a Christian Chaplain.

Cheryl says...

"Have you ever wondered about God's role in:
You having Borderline Personality Disorder?
You living with a person with BPD?
Suffering?
Your choices?
Have you ever wondered what God is really like? or if He is really there? 

If so then I may be able to help you....
I offer a way to a relationship with the God of the Bible who has many answers to the questions you may have. I am a Christian Chaplain who has much experience in working through these types of issues with people. I am also the mother of an adult child with the Borderline Personality Disorder. I have also been the wife of a person with this disorder. If you have any questions, or would just like to talk you reach me email me here.

I now have a website specifically for Christian women who want to have an authentic walk with Christ through the lens of BPD and other mental disorders. Cornerstone Connection: Above and Beyond. It's www.ccab.us. 

I have finished my M.Min degree in Biblical Counseling and have been endorsed by the Conservative Baptists of America as a Chaplain for Women's Discipleship. At some point I may be going back for my D.P.Th. in Life Issues. (but later). My focus is STRICTLY Biblical...I do not ascribe to the "all roads lead to God theory" because neither God of the Old Testament nor His Son Jesus Christ did, but I do not want to offend or blow away those that happen to hold this view. It is my desire to Disciple those women who are already Christians.

In His Service,
Chaplain Cheryl Durham, M.Min.
