TampaGirl,
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes I am on meds, I am dx as BiPolar II depressive with BPD tendencies. I am not sure that I am bipolar but that is another subject, every doctor I speak to gives me a different dx. I am trying to forget the dx and work on the symptoms. I take lithium 900 mgs, trileptal 900 mgs and lithium 50 mgs (I just started a couple of weeks ago so I am titrating up). Any suggestions on the meds? I need to post to the med board. I have gone to many therapists over the past 10 years and have told all of them my story which hasn't changed and they talk to me about my issues but nothing has sinked in they tell me I have some sort of blockage. I don't understand how someone in so much pain doesn't take the good advice they get.
As you said we have alot of similarites, beating oneself up for what you did and didn't do, IMPATIENT, and ALL the others you mentioned that me us spiral downwards. I too fought the meds, and unfortunately don't feel like I have found the right combination for me and wonder how do we determine when we feel good enough on the meds what should they do for us and what should we be doing for ourselves.
My issues aren't so much what the kids think it is how my actions affect my relationships with everyone.
I am glad to hear things are getting better for you.
