Medication: Lamotrigine (150mg), Fluoxetine (60mg), Lorazepam (1mg; PRN), and Zolpidem (10mg; PRN).
Therapy: Individual CBT therapist. No DBT available atm for me.
Lifestyle changes: walking for 20-30mins at least 5x a week. Eating more balanced meals, less carbohydrates. Going to bed before 3am and waking up before 2pm. No MMO computer games. No journaling. Going outside the house once a week, by myself, for at least an hour. Limiting TV. Going out and doing things like grocery shopping.
Meditation: Not atm. I tried before and failed. They told me to acknowledge the thoughts that come in and then let them go out....problem is they never left.
Other stuff: documenting my mood everyday, reading Marsha Linehan's Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, improving my physical health problems, writing my T once a week (and keeping it minimal), being open with the people in my life with how I'm actually feeling, keeping busy, trying to take care of myself, try to contribute here at PC while not obsessing over it.
