PD was used to explain what is not happening in the DSM perhaps?

The last psychosis I had changed me. After that life became harder to live. It left me with some cognitive impairments. I definitely lost some IQ points. I had motivation to do simple things like shower everyday. It isn't unusual for me to go 6 or 7 days without a shower, even when I am not depressed. Gross. I struggle to eat properly and look after my apartment. I can't even fold my clean laundry. I never worked. I'm on disability. Yes, I attend university at a very reduced course load (2 classes). It is not easy at all. I have a lot of support provided to me by the university. Without that I could never make it.

Is it common to get symptoms in-between episodes?

Yes, I was on 1.5 mg of Abilify. I am small and very susceptible to side effects. Standard doses are too much for me. When I was in hospital medication dosing was a huge issue. A lot of the time my medications were dispensed in liquid form because the prescribed low doses were not possible with pill cutting.

Thanks for the reply.

I have been traumatized by the BPD diagnosis the doctors gave me when I was 16. I can't seem to let it go.
What I really want is to get BPD off my records.
