I also have the dx of bipolar 1 disorder (for the last 12 yrs. but should have been much sooner as I had my first suicide attempt at 15 & I'm 54).

I also have been dxed with borderline.

I am taking medication (hell to get that right with all the side effects) & doing indiv. & dialectical behavioral therapy (mostly people with borderline in there). It is more like a class with homework & very helpful.

Had my last suicide attempt 2 1/2 yrs. ago & slowly reintering mjain society.--Suyz
