| why is it, do you think, that shrinks so far have brushed off your legitimate concern? your success? something else? I don't think they have brushed it off as like they didn't care. I think they are looking it from the wrong point of view. Most of them have focused on me feeling like crap all day a... |

| then go to a different shrink and make your case. i had to switch shrinks to get listened to and appropriately treated. I have tried. Changed plenty of times. It is very hard to find private ones. Especially because i will be working in the medical field i can't just go to a hospital one, we all kn... |

| While DBT can be very helpful, it is important to note that it takes a long time. DBT is based around training yourself to feel two or more feelings at the same time while not feeling that one is better than the other, for example when I did DBT I did it a lot over learning to be happy and sad at t... |

| what about you makes you feel as if you have borderline PD? At first i had no idea what my problem was. I had it since i was a kid. I went to psychologists and psychiatrists and they always said depression or something else (they always did the same studies, IQ tests and random s**t i'm pretty sure... |

Thanks for the reply man. |

| people with borderline personality disorder feel empty even in relationships. Thank you for your reply. I have heard this before. I don't know if this is true, if it was it would be terrible. I really don't see anything else that could give meaning to life. I've never been in a relationship so i ha... |

| I'm basically resorting to posting here because i really don't have anyone else to tell and i've found people with more things in common here than in other places, even though i don't have any asperger's related disease (though i've diagnosed myself with BPD that matches exactly what textbooks say).... |

| I used to self harm. First bite, then scratch, then, as I got older, cut. But it was because I couldn't figure out how to put what I was feeling into words when I'd bite or scratch. Cutting was because I heard voices telling me to do so. I think that was the main reason for the BPD diagnosis. I did... |

| I'd be inclined to think Schizoaffective disorder is a better dx. Based on what you say you don't meet the criteria for BPD, and if you always heard voices i don't really understand why could any psychiatrist confuse schizoid symptoms with BPD. I tell you from personal experience because i have BPD ... |

| I doubt the side effects are caused by the combination of your meds and alcohol. Could be just meds alone that started showing its effects, or just something that came from you. You will have to see if it repeats itself or not to know if it comes from the meds. Most of the time (i don't know about S... |

| She sounds polite and shy. Don't tell her to go to the psychologist. She might be offended someone she doesn't know much is telling her to go to a psychologist, due to the social stigma that people that go to the psychologist are crazy. I would get offended myself. Just let her know you know she is ... |

| Not everyone with Asperger's has to take Ritalin. You should talk to the doctor that did your dx. Ritalin is not a treatment but it helps relieve some symptoms like impulsiveness and distraction: Something not every Asperger has. You should not take Ritalin unless prescribed, because as most medicat... |

| I guess it is possible to live a normal life with BPD. I have a friend with it and while I know she takes medicine and has been hospitalized, she's quite high functioning and is very self aware of her issues. I think that its important to have a support network, even if its just friends, but then I... |
