| DBT specifically deals with people who sometimes conflict with the therapist. Don’t forget therapist are people too - they have flaws. I just started a DBT IOP (again). Really if your therapist fired you you probably don’t want him/her and he/she probably really couldn’t help. Try again and you may... |

| Thing is I think this therapist could have helped me because she said I needed a specialist for my personality disorders. Email them back and ask for a referral to a specialist. I don't have borderline personality disorder, I have schizoid and avoidant. I did write them back and said they were unfa... |

| Saw this therapist 3 times and told her last week that I've been thinking about death a lot and one day thought about suicide so she sent me to the ER. I felt fine in the ER and didn't tell the Dr. about suicidal ideation. I got an email from therapist's boss stating that they reviewed my file and d... |

| One Dr told me I had agoraphobia and not Asperger's. I don't like being around people. People have always criticized me everywhere I go because I'm not social. Even working for USAF people were like that. People are nasty. |

| Marching around the basement to Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and Bobby Kennedy's death. I can still see the train on TV that carried his body to Washington and the sadness I felt. And I remember sitting on my dad's shoulders during a Nixon campaign stop. |

| I've had this really bad for decades. I keep pushing myself to enjoy things but it doesn't really work all the time. I can't stand it and professionals don't really want to talk about it. I've taken every medication the last 35 yrs and ECT with no relief. |

Yes, 13 is kind of late to first notice any problems for an ASD kid. My parents certainly noticed problems before I started school. And once school started things were rocky from then on.
I had a Dr. tell me otherwise, she said 13 wasn't too late to experience problems. |

| I haven't had any luck with treating my panic attacks. I mean treatment doesn't even exist because doctors just shrug it off. What can I do? They last 1-2 hrs. (I've taken klonopin and saphris for my anxiety but they always wear off. Saphris worked really well 4 mths ago.) |

| Have problems since I was 13, depression/anxiety and social problems. I stopped talking at 13 because I was dissociating badly (into my teens and 20's). Been on disability most of my life. I feel hopeless, I've seen tons of drs/therapists with little relief. |

| I never liked myself since I was 13 when I started getting sick. I never liked the person I was because my illness controlled my life. My self-esteem has always been poor. |

| I've taken every SSRI, MAOi, Mood stabilizer and many anti-psychotics for my depression/anxiety. Only paxil worked for 6 yrs and geodon helped at the beginning and recently saphris stopped my anxiety in Nov. but has worn off. Benzos don't really work. Had ECT 4 times since 1992 with no relief. |
