My T is also my Pdoc, and no I was never prescribed Ativan by her or anyone else... but she knows that I always keep one of my mom's pills in bedroom to use if I really can't calm down. Obviously she's not really happy about it, but with this scenario it only happens 3-4 times/year.
We both know that if I had Ativan precribed and readily available I would abuse it and end up with one more addiction.

I also suffer from BPD, and as she didn't have enough patients for a proper skills group we've been doing some modified DBT for two years now. The proper skills group finally started last week. But to be honest until now the goal was for me to become stable enough to be able to work on my trauma, we've barely scratched the surface and probably won't do more for a while.
