I was recently diagnosed with BPD. I have been treated for depression for the last two years.

Being in a relationship has always been difficult for me. I was always bored or ready to pursue the next guy that looked my way. This was manageable when I was single but I am married now. I will be celebrating, my four year anniversary soon. I hate the fact that I have a wonderful husband that I sometimes think about leaving. I am bored. My needs and feelings seem to change on a weekly basis. My desire faded for him long ago. I am learning that part of this BPD "gift" is dealing with increased sexual desire and irrational behavior. Does anyone else experience this in the current marriage? Will it get better once my meds are regulated? If anyone can offer any suggestions on how I can better cope with these issues, I would be forever grateful.

Once your meds have you stablized, you will feel much better in many areas. Getting to that point, and staying there are big issues though. It does take consistency and persistency and patience to find your levels, and then any stressor etc might throw you off.

Maybe try and find different ways to mix things up with the spouse, with a variety in the bag so you always have something.

By "BPD" do you mean, "Borderline Personality Disorder"?
or BD, "Bipolar Disorder"?
Just was wondering.
Sky just made a good point(s).
Are you taking any mood stabilizers? Are you following a treatment plan with a psychiatrist?
It is important to be in a treatment plan and given proper mood stabilizer(s) and other meds combined if there is a need for adjunct meds.
I also feel talking with a therapist would be most helpful in combination.
Not everyone with Bipolar disorder experience "all" the symptoms related to this disorder, much varies with the severity and/or frequency of episodes or pending ones.
It takes a little while for many to feel the effects of their medications, some meds may have to be changed and/or titrated up or down, some people may require several different meds and some people can have more than one disorder.
Multiple disorders are possible but also the right combo of eds and therapy can address them.
I'm wishing you lots of luck with this, and hope at the same time can be honest with your husband about your feelings, though difficult at the present time, try to have consideration of what he is going through too.
Please take care now,
