I can't control myself, I always thought I am strong and I won't do stupid things but I do again and again.
I'm scared of myself, I almost killed myself yesterday and all the time doing things I shouldn't do. I'm taking sedative antidepressants but it seems they can't help me with this. Have you ever had problems with self-control? Did you get over this and how? Is there any medication which can help with this? |

it's not easy, that's for sure. i can't count the number of stupid things i have done. i don't think there's a med for that cause i sure need it, the worst part is the being mad at yourself afterwards, cause you did something you knew you shouldn't have. i guess it's the impulsive part in our nature. just try to hang in there

I have a problem with self control. After two years of fighting with my husband, I have kicked him and his stepdaughter out. I have legitimate, real reasons, but the way I handled it was almost obscene, at least ultimately. It's been a few days and I'm ashamed looking back at a lot of my behavior. I haven't visited this site since June 2013. My daughter was born in July. I don't know why I'm unloading all of this in your thread.
So yes, I have a problem with self control

Yeah, Hi! I am currently dealing with similar problems with self control too. I am on an emotional roller coaster and do not seem to be able to stop the impulsive behaviours. I have recently been put on Seroquel/quetiapine medication which has helped a great deal to lessen the impulsivity - also on a mood stabiliser of sodium valproate (Epilim Chrono). I am only embarking on the road to recovery and therapy is the next step. I'm due to start the WRAP programme this week (devised by Mary Ellen Copeland), so hopefully will learn to devise a self-help programme tailored to suit me, that I can put in place to minimise the effects of my impulsive behaviour and anxiety-related issues resulting from my BPD. I hope things improve for you soon and I wish you well.

I have always thought that nothing short of horse tranquillisers would sedate me! For high self destructive urges and behaviour I think DBT is the main thing proven to help. Are you receiving any therapy at the moment?
