riverx Thank you so much for your reply. I am going to go with my gut feeling. I feel even though she may be "the best in the area" She is not the one for me. I actually got a call from another Therapist this afternoon, this was my second choice if the other one didn't work out (which she didn't) so I was very excited that they could fit me in at the beginning of April. I just hope I don't get hurt by anything he says in the first session. I had been waiting for that call for about a week now. I made sure when I talked to the secretary that I mentioned I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, bipolar2 with rapid cycling, social anxiety, GAD and OCD tendencies. She said the the doctor is a clinical Psychologist who treats every kind of mental illness, as well as just situational problems or stresses. So I am looking forward to that.
Most of The books I have read were about bipolar disorder, because that was what I was first diagnosed with 4 years ago. These books also talked a little, not very much about borderline personality disorder. The best book I have learned through research dealing with Borderline is "Skills Training Manual for Treating Borderline personality disorder." by Marsha M. Linehan. this book is specially designed for people with borderline. It a DBT workbook. Another good book is "Stop walking on Eggshells" ( This book is mostly designed for loved ones of Borderlines, but I have heard it helps borderlines as well), "Get Me Out of Here" is another one I heard about. All these books I have just read about online, but am planning on buying them soon. My research has just been online looking up characteristics, symptoms, medications, Therapy types and peoples personal stories.
