Even though you posted, above, that you wouldn't develop an eating disorder because of the attention given to your posts about weight and eating, you don't know that for sure and we don't either. Could you avoid this topic altogether here, and take it up instead with pdoc.?
In an earlier post, you said that you did not believe in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I don't know what kind of therapy you have been having, but the most effective kind for BPD is a combination of psychodynamic therapy and DBT. Because it's a disorder of interpersonal emotional regulation , the relationship which you develop in therapy is crucial, The same is true of eating disorders; they can be triggered off by a need to at least control ONE thing during times of high stress, and intensive therapy is an important part of getting better. In both of these, medications ideally play a much less important role, with the eventual goal being to take little or none.
Babble has been wonderful for you in a number of ways, but it just isn;t able to take the place of individual therapy.
