In reply to Suggested Group Therapy and Could I have BPD?, posted by DisposableDoll on May 18, 2006, at 23:41:36
Hi DD,
I don't have any answers for you, but I am a fellow "possible BPD" candidate -- my therapist suggested I might have BPD, then my psychiatrist agreed since I do not respond well to medications (or if they do help, like SSRIs, they only last a short time). After seeing me for several more months, my therapist took back his diagosis of BPD. It is definitely a frustrating dx.My one question for you ... I haven't visited this board for several months, so I apologize if you have already given this information before ... have you been on meds, or are you currently on meds? Do they help you? Do you have any adverse or strange reactions to meds? I ask this because the one reason my pdoc thought I might have BPD is the fact that meds don't really work for me. (That doesn't explain my adverse/opposite reactions to many meds, however. I am currently looking for a new pdoc who isn't so condescending.)
Take care, and keep us posted on what you find out ... I know how frustrating this can be.
