Borderline personality disorder?!
Question:
Borderline personality disorder?
To people who have been diagnosed with this and have sought treatment, does the dialectical behavirol therapy work? My therapist introduced it to me, but I didn't see it working for me. I have stopped taking this anti-depressant that was helping my bi-polar, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, but now my anger has gone from bad to terrible. I have anger bouts everyday. I want to break everything. I don't know if it's the BPD, or Bipolar disorder that's causing this. Does anybody else experience these mood swings? When I get really angry and do something destructive, I have this electrical shock or something in my head where the lights seem to get brighter. I don't know what it is.
Answers:
You poor darling. I have a child with PDD-NOS. She is on anti-depressants/anti anxiety and a variety of other medication. If she does not take her anti-depressants/anti anxiety medication she has anger issues like you describe. Could it be due to your stopping that medication? I really think you need to reconsider. If you did not like the meds you were on, believe me there are others. For example, we switched from Paxil to Lexapro.
Don't ever stop taking medication without talking about it with your psychiatrist. It is extremely dangerous.
Good luck, I really do feel for you.
