Hi everybody. I've been on this website for about a year now. I just got out of the hospital today and the doctor diagnosed me with Borderline Personality Disorder along with a few other things. I'm taking Lamictal, Lexapro, something like Adderall and Haldol. I'm getting back into the swing of things at home, just got a new laptop in the mail I ordered a week ago so that was cool coming home to that... yeah. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hey ShanteArtist, how do you feel about your diagnosis.. Has it clarified thugs for you or does it matter to you. Best wishes.

It seems to explain a lot, yes... when I was at the hospital I was convinced I had schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. But apparently BPD can also cause hearing voices apparently? So... it explains things I suppose.

Nowhere I have read links BPD with hallucinations. Stress induced paranoia, yes. But not hearing or seeing things. You may have BPD, but the hallucinations are from something else.

When I was in the hospital, I picked up packets on Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective disorder. The problem is though, is that what could be one symptom of one disorder could also be another symptom of something different. The hallucinations were probably stress induced at first, but when I try and go to sleep now I hear voices inside my head. I do understand they're in my head, but that doesn't make it any less irritating or exhuasting.

I don't think your psychotic symptoms had anything to do with your BPD diagnosis.
Experiencing hallucinations doesn't mean you are going to develop schizophrenia and need to take antipsychotic medication. Sleep deprivation, narcolepsy, anxiety, medication, street drugs and stress can cause hallucinations. People who don't have a mental illness sometimes get them. Hallucinations that occur when you are falling asleep (stage 1 sleep) are called hypnogogic hallucinations. Hypnopompic hallucinations happen when you wake up. They are completely normal and do not require medication. Perhaps you are noticing them now because you are stressed and more aware of what is going on within you.

Hm... maybe? I started hearing voices when I would fall asleep, but I'm surely still awake. How can I sleep with these voices and things? They are anxiety provoking, and they make it tormenting to sleep. I don't know... I'm on an anti psychotic but that's because I thought the devil was talking to me, I thought there were invisible people everywhere telling me what to do. Wanting me to do things. I thought aliens were coming to get me for a while... yeah.

information that states some people with bpd have psychotic episodes
NIMH » Borderline Personality Disorder What is psychosis? - Rethink Mental Illness, the mental health charity Borderline Personality Disorder Guide: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options This is just 3 of many and I also would hear music and voices along with other psychotic symptoms I haven't had that happen since I've been on Seroquel and I only have BPD I am not schizo and no doc has ever mentioned me having anything but BPD.
