Blackballet: I'm so glad you have a positive attitude about this... And you're right, the future can't be much worse? Can it? theforgotten: Yeah, I know what you mean. Everyone dismisses it as growing up... I hate that. There is something seriously dangerous and they think it's nothing. Hopefully, they'll be understanding. Maybe you can try to tell someone how it feels. |

| Theforgotten: I'm 15 and I've had depression for a about 5 years. Even when my doctor said I had depression, my parents still thought I was just being a stupid teenager. I get into a lot of fights at school because of the mood swings. Parents just don't get why we do these things, my parents think I cut for attention, but if I did, why would I wear long sleeve shirts in the middle of summer to hide the scars? | |

I have been diagnosed with Borderline for about a year now. If you have BPD or think you do, read The Borderline Personality Disorder Survival Guide by Chapman and Gratz. This is a great book. I've had plenty of therapy but have been most successful with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). |

I am 25. I was diagnosed with BPD several years ago. I used to see a therapist regularly but I neither have the time nor money to do so these days... Or that's my excuse. I feel that I would be wasting someone's time. I was very suicidal and ended up in the hospital one too many times. But then I found another way to "hurt" myself. Because of my self-destructive behavior I readily dove into the drug scene. I did just about anything I could get my hands on but settled with heroin. From the moment I first tried it I loved it. But that love took away many things. I haven't been myself since then and I will never be myself again. I stole from my friends and family to buy a hit, I eventually robbed a 7-eleven and would have gone to jail had I not agreed to go to rehab. The steps they taught me in rehab worked for a little while but then I found myself back into my old habits. I have been in and out of rehab these past years... I am not in any rehabilitation right now but I am trying to give up my addiction. This will be my seventh attempt. I am sicker than ever right now but I am trying. Is there anyone else with a story similar to my own? |

Giacoma: You can make it. I know you will. If you don't, then you'll know you died trying, right? Borderline: I believe I'll try looking into that. robm: It may be right to try it. If you think medication isn't the right way to regulate your feelings, find an alternate path. Good luck to you all. Take care. |

| For people out there with health insurance through their parents experiencing problems with depression, seek it now your worth it. Feel lost, like you lie to everyone, and you have no idea why-you put emphasis on social aspects of life that others do not understand? impulsive? Feel really good when someone is nice to you, but if they say you are obnoxious and you act like nothing is wrong and obsess over it. Try and tell yourself everything is ok because again you embarrassed yourself by being yourself? Its Not Normal to feel like this. if anyone wants to talk about it. you can email me [no emails] | |

" We were all Just Programed WRONG" I would really enjoy a count. if you make a post anytime after this and have somthing to say, just say AY!or NAY at the beging of your entry. Have you been exposed to healthy parents who have successfull well balanced lives? Did they tell you how to live or did they exercise how to live.? |

weeeeza, I dont know if your a guy or a girl. anywho- How long seeking professional help. answer difficult: well since I was nine. None of my therapist pshychologist pshychiatrists were consistant. EveryWoman in my family has an undiagnosed case of being borderline- When I was younger, the therapists always seemed more interested in helping my mother- they saw a reflective pattern. My mother saw they as being uneducating and questioning of her parenting styles, which would probably be my own style if I had children now. So i would be dropped from that therapist to find another... Pretty much because my mother didnt hear what she wanted to. No counseling has never helped me. Do I think If I were more dedicated It would have a greater impact. YES, I never got to the point of transference. Like an imaginary line where you take all of your emotions and feeling and share them-honestly- with your therapist. that may not happen for a year, it may happen in a few months But it is when you get past your own charades, and have someone know your whole and unconditionally love you. Something many people suffering from bpd dont have-unconditional love. also something I find that really helps an object constantcy. Find someplace to go the same time everyweek no matter what. No matter if your having an episode (if your drunk then dont lol) or feeling clever, or feeling like your mom, or osessing overthing that you have effed up. do it. |
