Whoohoo, I can write again!

Thank you Stability, you were sorely missed!

I kneel at the altar of St. Ability!

I wish you (all) the same! Always.

When I am stable some BPD-like traits come up which I acquired when I was 9 or so I think. At least I now have sense of control over my behaviour.

For any of you that have comorbid BP and BPD, do you ever notice something similar?

I find that when I'm stable on meds that my control over my BPD is more stable too. But I went yeeeeaaaars of stopping my meds, self medicating, and just out of control with my BPD. After 12 years with my BP I didn't snap out of it and take my meds seriously until a few months ago after one of the worst depressions I've had. Now I've come to terms with the fact that I need meds, probably for the rest of my life.

And OP I'm happy for you and your stability! I was doing great until about 2 months ago when I got a new job and fell off the deep end from the stress. I lost the job...Now I'm dealing with hypo and trying to find a shred on sanity until my appointment on the 14th!

Good luck to all of us!

I have control back now. I can grow up now.
And yes, the outlook is mesmerising!

I'm adding to the stability happy dance!

Just had an appointment with NP but my psychiatrist walked in.

My psychiatrist doesn't think I am stable. And I trust her.
She is the most normal person I know.

I just know too few sane people!

I feel deflated. Like BPD-like reactive depressive deflated. I think I could cry now.

Thank you for your support.

It's a lot to process, being told you're not stable, when you've been happy with the thought of being stable. Reminds me of the stock market loosing points, not because of the actual economic situation, but because of unspecified fears.
Thanks for this!

I feel like I worked myself all the way up from schizophrenia to the borderline, mesmerised by the view, filled with possibilities. Unable to cross it.

This valley of sorrow!
Go too far down and fumes will intoxicate you
Go up and winds will keep turning
Go higher and squalls will throw you off your feet
On crossing the borderline

Just bigger than a rabbit hole.

Thanks for the hugs! I needed that.

I am happy that you are able to be creative again through your writing. After anti-psychotics I have started to paint again. There isn't a better feeling.
Thanks for this!
