Hi

I was dx with Bipolar II and Borderline Personality Disorder last March. I am happy for this dx because I have been dealing with these disorders fo 10 years without a name. I have finally found a great therapist who GETS me. I also have a good psychiatrist and we r still working on finding the cocktail that works for me. I have lost friends, relationships, and have almost killed myself due to these diseases. I used to drink to get rid of the horrible feelings. I no longer drink and I am going to dialectical Beehavioral Therapy (DBT) classes once a week. I am also going to support groups and therapy 2x a wk. I have a job that can be VERY stressful. However, I still have a lot of anxiety, alot of hypomania and delusions. My depressions arent as bad as they once were, but still need to be adjusted by meds. I hope my strength can outwit my disease and that I can maintain this job.
