Question:
Borderline bullshittt. The mind is more complex than some label.?
One of my doctors said that I am borderline. Some people in my family are hypersensitive at times. What do you think. How do you get help from this? What medication do you usually take? I have a consistent cutting problem that never seems to go away. INTENSE EMOTIONS that take over my rational thinking.
Answers:
Borderline Personality Disorder is a mental illness in the same family (called cluster B) as Narcissism and Anti-Social Personality Disorder (also called Sociopath). It strikes mostly women (men usually become sociopathic or narcissistic) and is characterized by, among other things, extreme swings of emotion, an inability to maintain relationships, etc..
As far as I know, there is no medication for cluster B type disorders, although there may be some meds for the resulting anxiety, etc.. Recovery is possible (albeit difficult) IF you 1) WANT to recover and 2) work very hard and 3) be ready for setbacks--they will come.
I would suggest you get a second opinion from a qualified mental health professional, just to be sure you're getting the proper treatement. Then,if needed, seek out a counselor (psychologist--not just a "life coach" or something similar) who specializes in BPD. There are also support groups and online resources, so you might search these out as well.
There's a book written by a BPD sufferer called "Get me out of Here", it might interest you.
Good luck
