I am new to this but here it goes: I am an 18 year old female who struggles SEVERELY with BPD. I need comfort. I need friends. I need understanding. I have a great support system & everything, but nobody really understands me or my illness. I feel very alone & isolated sometimes. I have been getting intrusive thoughts for about 6 months now. The first time I noticed this, was when I was at a hospital for my mother to pick up her prescription on the 3rd floor, Can anyone relate? Does anyone have advice? I have been on multiple meds & nothing seems to help. I have recently quit two mood stabilizers cold turkey because I developed a rash & an ER doctor told me to quit immediately. The withdrawals have been terrible. I am now slowly coming off of Effexor because it has not helped; I mean, here I am getting intrusive thoughts so what am I to do? Ughhhh. Any advice or even some kind words of encouragement would be so greatly appreciated. God bless you all. I hope you all find the strength to get through whatever it is you are going through. I am always here if anyone needs someone to talk to. I have been through a lot so I am no stranger to "crazy". Lol
