Hello there

Borderline personality is supposed to be no longer a diagnosis of exclusion.Actually things have got a bit better treatment wise for people with this diagnosis. The best treatment is group therapy in a therapeutic community. This can be done daily. All different types of therapies are used including DBT which is a combination of therapies including CBT. It is also based on Buddist principals. In most TC's they prefer people to be off meds, but recognise that for some people meds may be helpful.

Group work seems to work extremely well. Being around other people who are experiencing similar symptoms is useful. It is not an easy option and can be very exhausting facing up to demons, but the others in the group will protect and support.

I hope you get the treatment you are looking for and deserve.
Thanks for this!
