Hi my HW family and friends,

Just wanted to let you know that I may not have my laptop for a day.

My work is upgrading my system, since this one is almost 4 years old and the hard disk is almost full.
Tomorrow morning the IT techs are taking my laptop to transfer my info on to the new one. It'll be hard for me since my laptop is my life and work is my distraction. Hoping to get it back sometime Friday so I can have it for the weekend.
I'll see if I get to login HW using my phone.

See you all soon.

Hi User Anonymous, I noticed that your dx is Borderline Personality Disorder. No formal dx here (always a depression dx) but textbook symptoms , except not much impulsivity... High functioning from what I gather. My question is what do you for your condition ? Are you on medication? I have found counselling to not be of much help...possibly due to the fact BPD is tough to treat and therapist aren't big fans of BPD.

I too am dx with BPD. dialectical behaviour therapy (dbt) is the recognised therapy, it was devised for this back in around 2003-4 by m. linehan. not sure of the spelling. dbt is excellent, but hard work. I did a psycho social in-patient program for BPD patients over 6 months. your best bet is consulting a psychiatrist who is familiar with BPD and dbt. all the best. meds, dbt, mindfulness practice-which is apart of dbt, therapy are the elements of recovery via the ardous journey, but a fulfilling one at that.

Hi vmh,

Welcome to the Bipolar forum!

HT has given you some good advice.

I did DBT as well for my dx. I agree it is hard work. I had to put my mind to it and keep pushing. I also did parts (Internal Family Systems) and CBT as well.

I would suggest you get a diagnosis. If you therapist isn't helping, maybe you need to switch. This is probably not the right therapist for you. Find a therapist who is willing to help you and work with you through this. They must be willing since you're paying them.
