Cherie is brought to the emergency department by her brother after slashing her wrist with a razor. She has previously been in the emergency department for a drug overdose and has a history of addictions. Cherie can be sarcastic, belittling, and aggressive to those who try to care for her. She has a history of difficulty with interpersonal relationships at her job. When the psychiatric triage nurse comes in to see her, Cherie is initially adoring and compliant, telling him, “You are the best nurse I’ve ever had, and I truly want to change.” But when he refuses to support her request for diazepam (Valium) and meperidine (Demerol) for “pain,” she yells at him, “You are a stupid excuse for a nurse. I want to see the doctor immediately.” Cherie has BPD. How do family members of a person with BPD typically describe their experiences of living with the person?
