I am 27year old female residing in the Chicago area. I had recently went back to school and have been taking a psychology class. Upon taking this class we had begun to talk about disorders. Mainly personality and mood disorders. I was very concerned with the section on borderline personality disorder. It seemed for years I kept thinking I was "Broken" Doing things that are "out of my control" I have a lot of the symptoms and even my husband has pleaded with me to seek help. I am tearing my life and my marriage apart slowly. It has gotten so much worse lately. It has come to the point where the old way I feel I can finally have peace is by committing suicide. I have seen many counselors but no on has yet to diagnose me. The last one, when I had brought up this disorder told me that he was not going to be quick to label me with this diagnoses because it is a big thing to have on file. All I want is help! I am not a bad person but lately I don't even know who I am anymore. I have created this fantasy world and I falling fast. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get out of this rut? I am sinking fast.

Sheila, for years I thought I was manic..and every time I would bring it up, the doctors would say what they said to you....Well, recently I was lucky enough to see a psychiatrist and she diagnosed me and I'm on meds and boy, am I a different person!! The meds worked on me, without a bunch of trials and I'm sleeping, eating and acting normal....please, please make an appointment with a psychiatrist.....ask people for recommendations or call the board that governs them in Illinois. Get one that has a very active practice...I sincerely believe that we need to consult a psych doc when we have symptoms like you have....xoxox pat

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
