After 6 months completely med free, I made the difficult decision today to get on a small dose of Prozac again. After going through diets, supplements, meditation etc I've found that the roots of BPD need so much more care than those things could give.
Not that they didn't help some, but my insecurity, constant lashing out at BF for perceived threats of abandonment or questioning his loyalty (he's always been loyal faithful and we just got married- never given me a reason to not trust him), and anxious or fear themed thoughts that won't shut off- we both decided I have to do something. I don't know about the rest of you, but my BPD makes it nearly impossible for me to make friends too.
So add the isolation and loneliness to everything else and lately I've been breaking down.
My therapy starts Monday and I'm scared and embarrassed to talk about someone of the crazy delusions I've had

Anyone here tried meds or therapy or both and had any success, esp with the insecurity and abandonment issues?

Hello nataliepatricia6183: Well... the Skeezyks is no longer on med's & I don't see a therapist. But I know what you mean about feeling like you need to do something. I don't have any friends, by choice. But I am married. And I have a tendency, periodically, to sort-of lash out at my wife. I get really angry over something she says or does... way out of proportion to the actual situation.

Afterward I always think to myself that maybe I should really think about getting back on med's or possibly seeing a therapist again. So far I haven't done it. And I don't know as I will. But kudos to you for recognizing you have a problem & for your willingness to do what needs to be done to remedy it.
