Question:
For anyone who has borderline personality disorder how long have you been in treatment?
Also what treatment has worked best for you and have you also had the comorbidty of bipolar? Is there really a point where you can trust people again and let them into your life?
Answers:
i went to d.b.t. (dialectally based therapy) for almost 2 years. it didn't help in the beginning, until i decided i wanted to change. then i learned a lot of different coping techniques that do help. i am also bipolar II and i have found lithium and an antidepressant help a lot. i also stopped drinking and i truely believe that was the biggest help of all. as far as trusting someone, well i met my now husband after i was diagnosed, so i guess you just have to have an open mind. he is also bipolar, so maybe we recognized something in each other.
