thanks both you guys

i've never tried zyprexa as emergency meds, only in long term - i put on 5 stone in 6 months (er 14 pounds to a stone, if that helps). i don't know how far my functioning is impaired at the moment - on the whole i'm not doing too badly - a bit erratic but not to the extent where anyone's particularly concerned. but last night it definitely affected my functioning....

i will check out dbt - cbt definitely helped me, is it similar?

i'll check out the story too - and look forward to tgrspurr's reply
