BPD

My therapist says I am developing more severe depression as well as BPD. I don’t know how to deal anymore. I seriously thought I was getting better but then I went back to my therapist and he says I am worse than before. Any advice on how to get better? I don’t know what to do because everything I was doing was making it worse apparently. Any suggestions will help. Thank you DS Family <3

I have no advice for you. Keep seeing your therapist, taking your meds, do things that make you happy. Everyone heals differently

hi, just checking.

BPD means Borderline Personality Disorder which is covered on the Personality Disorder board.

If you mean Bipolar, then depression is half of it rather than something separate.

To make it better you need to talk to your psychiatrist - bipolar needs treatment by medication and if that isn't working then you will need a med adjustment

Big hug afreshstart..... I'm sorry that you're struggling sweetie.... I agree that if you have bipolar disorder it's important to see a medical doctor.... Hopefully a psychiatrist as they're specialists in the field of psych medication.... xo

My parents won’t let me go on medications for my bipolar disorder. I tell them how I feel but they don’t listen. My last therapy appointment is on Monday and I am freaking out guys...I don’t know what to do. My family thinks I am making all of this up :( they say because I’m 17 I am acting irrational. I’m crying right now. Sorry for my rant

Big hug for you afresh..... I would ask to see your family doctor..... Tell your doctor what you're going though and ask your doctor to advise you and your parents.... If your parents are willing to listen to a therapist hopefully they'll be willing to hear an MD.... xo

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
