Once you recover, you probably don't need the meds or therapy.interesting what you said about PD not being temporary states....i previously had the dx of BPD, but don't anymore. so does that mean that it was misdiagnosed? (which i believe...i feel my issues before were directly related to both my bipolar-and not on good med combo, and my burried issues that i had not yet talked or remembered fully in therapy)
but i do feel the ST label was a good fit, i guess i don't see anything wrong with that label, it just makes me a little...'quirky' (hehe) as long as it does some good, but so far having that label has only added a label. no one (therapist or pdoc) really recognizes it or ever talks about it??? so what's the point?
my old T (the good one) mentioned it a couple times but we were honestly so busy dealing with the other cr@p that we never really got a chance to talk about that issue.
Great topic folks.
thanks
