Hi guys! Im jyst wondering if anyobe else is dx with borderline personality disorder? I was first diagnosed wirh bipolar and now they changed it to this. How do you manage? What are you prescribed? Im also an addict and am also dx with an eating disorder. Next week i will be clean a month! Things are getting easier but its still hard! I get overwhelmed easy and im a single mom. I just wanted to post this tonight instead of always reading :)
 
Hey there Mira! Congrats on your month clean!! What an accomplishment. I'm so happy you decided to post this finally instead of just reading it. (That way you'll get some feedback that you deserve ;)) Unfortunately I'm not that well versed with BPD or bipolar so I won't be much help in that dept. But you're in the right place and you'll receive some feedback soon.

Hey Mira! I was diagnosed with BPD a while back. I couldn't really get a med combo that worked well for me accept for clonazepam for anxiety. I do owe a lot to Dialectical Behavioral Therapy though. It took A LOT of work and time, but it really did change me for the better. I'm still the same person I was and have some of the same harmful thoughts sometimes, but I'm much more able to manage them now. Definitely talk to your therapist about getting involved in a DBT porgram and please don't let it put you off that there might be a long waiting list and that a lot of DBT programs are group therapy. I was put off by that first as well, but it was all worth it in the end.

In the mean time do a little research and try out mindfulness meditation. This is really at the core of DBT and will really help you out, though again it does require some practice. This web site has also helped me out and I still refer to it fairly often.

Here's a couple other BPD threads in TDS:

Kudos to you for starting this thread and congrats on your sobriety! You're definitely on the right track. <3 <3
 
hey i was diagnosed with bpd a while ago, also diagnosed with being anorexic, and i'm trying to get off dope too. congrats on your one month clean, today is my first day clean.
 
Hey AstrangeBrew! Congrats on the one day clean! I know what you are going thru!! Its really hard. Stay strong! My first addiction was my eating disorder. Im dx with ednos. Cuz i starve and purge. With out binging. I got so sick i would throw up water just to feel that feeling after purging. It was horrible. I was in the hospital to get stable. Then i went to a inpatient eating disorder rehab. Im better now but it was either the ed or drugs. I was back in forth acting out on either addiction. Or both. How are you know with your eating disorder now that you are getting clean? Pm me if you need to talk. :)
 
Its not that bad being clean, got subs from people so im good in that aspect. Im about 90 pds right now and i have no appetite. Its probably cause i havent been able to sleep in a couple days. I was clean for a couple days earlier in the week but messed up cause my head wasnt right. Right now it almost seems easier being empty while going through the initial phase of gettinf clean. I had half a piece of toast at 6 am and thats it. Its hard
