I have Bipolar and Borderline. The only way I can explain it to people is to say it's like I have two kids. One is taking Ritalin and is calm and relaxed and the other is running ramped. That is exactly how I feel with these two illnesses. I can take meds for the Bipolar but the Borderline runs ramped and it's ruining my life. I can't control my outbursts and lately everything has been going wrong. What else can I do? I go to counseling and she informed me that she can only see me every 3 weeks, this comes after she was an hour late and only asked me 5 questions for our session, which lasted only 25 minutes. I am trying me best to stay out of the hospital but it looks as if that is the only way I can get the help I think I need. I am half tempted to start drinking again because I was happy then. I was always happy, if they can come up with medication to do that I would love to take it. I just wish they understood how BPD affects everyone, especially the person with it. My family has suffered enough at my hands and I'm tired of fighting myself to hide it. I just don't know what to do anymore. What can I do?????

I am sorry I do not have experience with it but anyway to start drink is not solution. Try to find T. I am not sure if every 3 weeks is suitable for you.

I too suffer with Bipolar AND Borderline and know just how you feel! You need a T that will see you at LEAST twice a week to start, then maybe once a week and can be available to you inbetween sessions! Therapy is the only "medication" for Borderline! And yes Bipolar just makes it worse, especially when they both rear their heads at the same time! You're in my thoughts!! Also drinking may make it SEEM better for you but it really isn't and just makes thing harder on those who love and support you...

Thank you so much for your input. I'm glad to know I'm not alone fighting myself. I try to get help and you have given me a push to fight harder for what I need. Thank you and the poem you left was absolutely beautiful! I will have to save it so I can read it over and over for inspiration!!!
