Well...I am in therapy for it...because I don't like 'group settings' I had to get a therapist that would take me one on one. Now, if ya know about BPD you know that ALOT of therapists don't want to take on a 'Borderline', because of the intensity that taking one on can bring into their sessions, etc. My Psychiatrist actually referred me to my therapist, a very competent and caring man who deals especially with BPD...Again, I was very fortunate to find someone in the field that truly knows what he is doing, and cares about it. My therapy consists of 'cognitive thinking behavior therapy'...It has been VERY, VERY rough at times (as is all therapy, I know), but since I have gone on the Effexor along with my other meds. I seem to be more able to 'deal' with the therapy and my homework associated with it. I use a workbook and try to apply the techniques for 'dealing' that I have learned from my therapist. I also am a Bi-Polar gal...rapid cycler, the Effexor, too, has helped with my rapid cycling, by the way.
I'm sorry, I am new to this site and probably should not have mentioned the Effexor here...but I didn't get to indept on it, so I thought it would be ok to leave it in...
I want to thank you Kiddo for your concern, that is so nice to hear! If there are other BPD'ers out there, yes, maybe we should start a new thread.
Thank you again for your kind and caring words.
