Hi User Anonymous, I noticed that your dx is Borderline Personality Disorder. No formal dx here (always a depression dx) but textbook symptoms , except not much impulsivity... High functioning from...
Thanks for the vote Pitmom...and if it were just one or two hills to get over I'm sure it wouldn't seem so daunting. But I literally have an entire mountain range to conquer. I have so stinking many...
Good afternoon Pitmom. I have to tell you that several of those quotes made me cry ! They rang so true...it kind of freaked me out. The people from my past do continue to hurt me cuz I let them. I do...
Wow...You are brave Karen, I couldn't bring myself to see anyone in my family. Good thing they all live 1200 miles away and I never have to ! Back in 2012 my daughter got married and sent invites to...
Oops. I wish I could like myself enough to stop punishing myself for the past. I want to, but since no one ever went to jail/apologized/tried to right the wrongs if I don't keep "hating" them then...
I really do get that all that crap wasn't my fault. And it would have been nearly impossible to be a good mom to 3 kids when she was such a mess herself, so young with bad parents and being an abuse...
Cool. I'll check that one out too...God knows my "child within" needs to be healed. My childhood effects me every day all these many years later. It's sad and makes me so angry that those first...
Thanks Karen. I'm going to load that book on my Kindle today. I find reading self help books a valuable resource....
Thanks Pitmom, most people don't "get" triggers and I have sooooo many that it is truly pathetic. And my anger is so close to the surface that it is exhausting to keep it from coming out. Weirdly...I...
Hi Karen, hey I checked online for the cash price of generic Abilify and its $400 a month!! YIKES. Scratch that one :(...
Hi Pitmom, I'm a catmom myself....unless Pitmom stands for something else. Thanks for replying to my post. I wish I could get things "right sized". Instead, I drag around a huge amount of hate,...
OK. I'll do some online research on the generic version of Abilify cuz surely the generic is less expensive than the name brand. So is the Abilify for depression or mood ? Thanks for you help, its...
Hi Karen, I have been thinking of asking my Dr. if she would prescribe a mood stabilizer for me...maybe Lamictal (generic) as my moods swings are are big problem. I don't have Bipolar mood swings,...
I've read that many times, also that if she is truly Bipolar, the Lithium should have helped as she's been taking it for over a year(low dose) and is still depressed !! I really wish she'd go to a...
Thanks. I'm trying to hang in there. I do have a doctor and she believes I have Borderline Personality Disorder as well and wants me to get counselling. Hasn't suggested medication which is OK cuz...
Thx Karen. I do read ALOT all the time. Of course many self-help books but other stuff too. (LOVE Stephen King) I do appreciate you responding to my post and hopefully I will feel better talking to...
Hi. I'll have to get those results from her as I don't live with her. Sure though as I'd love to be able to help her. I'm positive she doesn't have Bipolar...but depression among other things due to...
Thx Trina & Karen for replying. I don't qualify for Medicaid due to my husband's income. He is a single practice attorney in a small town...he barely makes enough to keep the doors open. Therapy is...
Hi. I am a 55 yr old female looking for some advice on BPD/depression. Horrible childhood with neglect/sexual(incest)/physical/verbal abuse. I get that all these things messed me up ALOT, and have...
Hi. New here...writing for my 29 yr old with Graves/radiated thyroid when she was 16. She takes rx for it, but for several years had been depressed,has hair loss,no energy,sleeps all the time,cant...
