Free,
My current psychiatrist doesn't like to label symptoms. But I had a former psychiatrist which said the best diagnostic that fitted my problems was a "mild BPD".
I guess it'd be very difficult to find DBT where I live. Mostly what we have here is psychoanalysts (which is my therapist's approach).
I'm not used to have trouble with people, at all. I don't have anger bursts or anything. My main complaint is that one day I'm in a fine mood, and sometimes the next day I wake up in a completely different mood, might be quite withdrawn and not willing to speak a word with anybody. It feels like my life doesn't have emotional continuity... emotions are quite unstable and I tend to isolate myself because of that.
As I think I'm psychologically quite well, I thought... what else is missing? So much effort in therapy (4 years) and still having a poor quality of life? That's why I thought about meds. But they suck (for me), I know.
Maybe I'm lacking having some distraction, as Sigismund mentioned.
Have a nice weekend
Ralph
