Hi, thanks.
My MH worker is helpful in what she says when we are together. The strategies that she gives me make sense. I have had CAT therapy and group psychotherapy. I have been on citalopram for 2 years (max dose). I was on quetiapine (600mg) for a year and then started to have seizures. I have had to come off the quetiapine to stop tthe seizures. Now I am left with all the emotions that they masked. I dont want to mask them with meds again. I want to accept my dpd and live with it and learn how to deal with the emotions.

My oldest and youngest sons live with their dads. My middle son is with me. I find it very hard to cope with the fact that i dont live with all 3. But when we are together I cant cope.

Before living at parents, I was in hospital. My youngest sons dad left me. I lost my job and my home. He left becos my older 2 sons dad made our lives hell. their dad encouraged them to make false allegations about my partner that blew our lives apart.

I hate the way my life is. I dont know anyone else of my age whos life is such a mess. I have been looking back over the years and DPD makes sense of a lot of things that have happened but more of the same in the future is too hard to bear.
