Post Reply New Topic

I think i might have borderline personality disorder becuase i am always angry and just generally have unstable moods.

i am thinking about working out too get rid of some of my agression but are any other ways to control my unstable emtoins because to be frank iam ruining my familys life and gradualy pushing my friends becuase of my attitude.

i did not really have this problem when i was younger like 18 or 16 but the older i have gotten the worse my mental health seems to be getting

The fact that you recognize that you have a problem is a good sign. If I were you, I'd talk to your family, a counselor or a psychologist about a possible diagnosis and possible strategies and treatments for your issues. The only thing is you will need to be honest about the problems you are having in order to receive they type of help you need.

risperidone?

I forgot to mention that i think i have BPD combined with AS.

Exercise is good. And writing (and on the subject of writing, sometimes less is more, like three sentences, 'I wish he would of . . ' 'I wish I would have remembered to . . ')

And it's says that you're 21, and really this is when a lot of societal rejection and career rejection hits home. A person realizes, Jesus Christ, the world is not near as open and it could be, not near as open as it could be. And this is really a point where a person needs to be very strategic, to find ways to kind of medium-step and ping-pong careers, education, relationship, etc. Even 'neurotypical' people (and no such thing as really normal!) struggle to find accurate information about jobs. So, maybe both school and lousy jobs (and the lousy jobs, sometimes called the 'entry-level' are harder all the way around than the good jobs, they are in no way easy) teaches skills, such as learning that many so-called managers are amazingly disengaged from the job to such an extent that they don't want to hear about problems, okay, fine, play that game, strategically play that hand, and not bring up things unless they're vital. But really about 20% of the crapola jobs, a person's going to get fired no matter what they do or it's almost to the point of being intolerable where quitting seems like an absolute breath of fresh air. With increased education, as jobs become better, they are both more interesting and easier (and aspie friendlier)!

Some medication might help with anger or aggression. I have read regarding depression that because the body's biochem is complicated and subtle, no doctor in the world can predict whether a particular patient will respond to a particular anti-depressant or not. That in a respectable way it is trial and error and it often takes about four weeks to tell if a medication is going to work or not. I don't know if it's the same here. Like in some many areas, it helps to have a doctor you can halfway talk with (a lot of doctors can't communicate worth sh*t, so about halfway talk with is about the most a person can realistically expect!)

Good luck with everything! Please keep talking here when it helps.

PS I think there may be some overlap between AS and Borderline Personality. I have read a fair number of posts where people here were at one time or another diagnosed with Borderline. And maybe the AS is correct for some people, maybe Borderline for others, and for a fair percentage of people maybe both.

Just IMO, but don't forget that being stuck living in a bad situation may also cause those symptoms. Sometimes the environment is the problem, rather than the person stuck in it.

My advice would be, seek treatment and therapy, and believe in yourself. From what you've said you're a far cry from someone who is beyond help.
