Anti-psychotics can help distorted thoughts. Certain ADs help people with BPD. Depakote is good if you are impulsive.Therapy is probably the best thing (combined with meds).
I am going to do a DBT group in a couple of months and I think that will be the most helpful thing I can do.
You really need a therapist who has a lot of experience with BPD. Otherwise you end up with some idiot who thinks are seeking attention and manipulating.
For me the worst part about having BPD is that I am always living in chaos. All I see is a black hole and a tsunami. It is very overwhelming.
Best of luck! Post any progress!
