If he has BPD, stopped his meds in April, and it is now June, he is heading somewhere alright-that is the hospital. I have worked with people with BPD for some time now and it is a very difficult MI to work with for all involved not just the person with the disorder. It also seems that the younger the person the more difficult it is for them to deal with. I know that he will be pissed at you because he is not on his meds and thus not thinking clearly but the best thing you can do at this point is get him hospitalized. Also after that see if there is a program in your area that can provide him case management and support services. I happen to work for one that stemmed out of Kendra's Law (don't know if other states have this law but NYS does). In any event family and friends should definately be a resource in working with your boyfriend, as should you but there are resources out there so you don't have to go through this on your own. Make sure you have a meeting with the clinical treatment team to provide him services BEFORE he leaves the hospital, otherwise this is going to be a recurring thing (and it may very well be a recurring thing even if support services are in place). There may also be family and friend support groups through local hospitals or the NAMI in your area where YOU can learn how to better cope with your boyfriend's MI and take care of YOURSELF.
