Although I was diagnosed with BPD years ago I know very little about it, and it is never brought up when I see my pdoc (which is fine by me)! At the moment I am looking for...not answers...I think just some advice. I came off my meds about 3 months ago and for the most part things have been ok- not as great as when I was on them (I was on Efexor and Serequal) but not too bad. But something I have noticed more and more is that I become angry very quickly, and it takes very little to trigger it. I don't normally have an issue with anger (I mean, I get angry but can usually control it and deal with it). Now though I literally explode att he smallest, least significant thing and even when I use strategies such as walking away, putting things into perspective, deep breathing etc etc the anger doesn't abate. I have heard that this can be a symptom of BPD but like I said I know very little about it and quite frankly I can't be bothered battling with my super-slow computer to try and look it all up! I am really loathe to going back on any sort of meds at the moment (I want a break from them; I want to try and prove that I can live my life without them; and I am being stubborn) but I don't want my girls to suffer from my outbursts any more. Does anyone have any insight, advice or reccommendations they could pass on, PLEASE?!?!
Many many thanks.
