      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      i am in cognitive therapy at this time and attending another therapist for EMDR for PTSD. I have an appointment with a DBT therapist next week.
      Rubber Bands Not Working
      the pain was just not intense enough.
      Squeezing Ice Somewhat Helpful
      my therapist had me try this in his office when i pulled out the razor blade. did get me thru just a little messy and inconvenient at times.
    • Close Personality Disorders
      Type: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

      Diagnosed with BPD and PTSD. I am in therapy with two therapist 2x's a week. My main therapist is resigning the 18th of May and moving out of state. I am having a real hard time with this and embarrassed because everyone thinks I'm being childish. I have just never had anyone that I can totally trust like him. I see a DBT specialist next week for intake and eval. to complete the DBT program. Reading this I am a little on edge, don't know what to expect.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Hard to find someone who understands my feelings. If I am cutting or talking suicide they run like crazy.
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      Up to 40 mg. now and seems to be helping a little but not entirely.
    • Open Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

      I was diagnosed with PTSD and I have been in therapy with two therapist for 6 months now. I am currently participating in EMDR.

      Treatments

      Inderal Somewhat Helpful
      Helps somewhat with the flashbacks. Lowers my pulse rate to 52 and I become light headed.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      It is helping but the EMDR can cause some stress.
      Zoloft Not Working
      Was on this 10 years ago for treatment with my PTSD. Suicidal thoughts increased. OD on 7100 mg. of Zoloft.
    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexual molested by my great uncle on a farm one summer where I was sent to stay. Most of the events happened in the corn field. I have kept running from treatment each time I get in a suicidal crisis and it's time to get some support and take care of the hurt.

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      Did quite a bit of this the 3x's I was inpatient. The 5 weeks were very good in the art department. I have invested in supplies to have available at home.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      I have a hard time discussing even the fact that it happened. I have been able to write about it and let my therapist read it then we process but I still can't go deep into it.
      EMDR Working / Worked
      Through EMDR I am desensitizing some of the events so that I can work on there.
    • Open Anger Management

      I have been working on hostility with my therapist. Seems that I have really been having a hard time keeping my tongue in cheek and flying off the handle. I have been going into such rages and fear for my family around me.
