Treatments
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- combo of CBT and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy - Linehan)
- Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
- 30mg, might be increased. i still get depressed a lot. i can't tell if it's really working.
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- practicing mindfulness
- Positive Thinking Working / Worked
- it's a struggle every day.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- this is also a struggle. i don't open up to people easily.
- Seroquel Not Working
- prescribed for insomnia. this was way too strong. it knocked me out and left me drowsy and incoherent for hours after i woke up. i'm not taking it now, but i'll keep a few around in case the sleep deprivation gets really bad.
- Wellbutrin Working / Worked
- i'm currently taking 150mg a day of the XL. i hate to admit it, but i think it's giving me energy, helping me get to sleep earlier and it's making me feel better.
- Writing Working / Worked
- this works when i have the energy to write. i feel better letting the emotions out.
Close Personality Disorders
Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety and Major Depression
Treatments
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- some aspects work but i feel my feelings are ignored and sometimes even supressed by the training. i find it frustrating.
Open Abstinence & Celibacy
shadohweaver215 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Anger Management
my anger builds inside me a like a fire. it never completely goes away. it simmers constantly, even 4 the slightest offense. I want to know how to keep my anger from making me feel so bad, and how can keep myself from wanting to make others miserable when i'm angry.
