hi. as u can see the main issues of bpd are affective and cognitive perceptual dysregulation and impulsivity... of course the affective/emotional is the most notorious.
as ive been taking an SSRI and hasnt been working and im not functional at all, i need better option. as she said there is no point keep talking about the same things (that i already know) if my behavior doesnt change and im basically stuck. thats why the anit-psych suggestion.

I do not buy that BPD is so bad that it is resistant to treatment. There are people who wanted to rename BPD as "emotional dysregulation disorder" because that is the core feature. Anything that helps regulate emotions then would be helpful.
