Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
me and my parter want to try for a baby but with me haveing this sickness am scared as the doc wot give me depression tablets as he said there no good for bpd all he gives me is sleeping tabs and sickness tab and diazpam i dont know wot to do am always getting my up and downs but i am a good mum is there tablets if am haveing a baby to take and carm me down and be safe am waiting for cbt but iv been waiting 1yr and could wait more mybe a baby would sort my head out wot do you think i would like to know even if its bad hugs to all
and i even had CBT just before i got pregnant. for me at least it helped with my bipolar but not as much for the BPD as soon as im well enough from my post partum depression i will be looking into getting into dialectal behavior therapy.
from what my therapist says the hardest time in a bipolar or bpd womans life is when she is pregnant or had just given birth.
as well i do find that for me some meds help but that may be more due to my bipolar.
I have heard of people going off meds. for pregnancies. I have heard of some people taking some that are viewed as safe, but I don't know what they are. I'm sorry I'm not much help.
I am concerned about your relationship with your doc.
Your doctor sounds like he is ignoring your ups and downs. Your doctor is correct that they don't have meds for bpd, but has ever considered you might also have bipolar or depression? Are you happy with your doc.? He doesn't sound like he is fully listening to all of your symptoms.
I wish you well with your desire for a baby.
