This last Tuesday, my T told me that she and the other pdoc's that I see, and I see a few, all think that I may have BPD as well as bipolar 1. She wants me to start going to DBT. I know that if I don't have BPD, the DBT will still help me.

What I'm afraid of, is the the meds and the DBT will change who I am. People have told me that one of the things that they find so attractive about me is my randomness. I know that the meds will cut some of that out, but I don't know about the DBT.

Does anybody have any experience w/ that?

I'd give it a shot. I don't think it changes personalities as much as helps you cope with situations.

I think I have decided to try it, I'm just worried that I won't be me anymore.

I'm sure you'll still be you.
