My current diagnosis is a mouthful, Bipolar, Autism, ADHD, GAD with Borderline traits...
My current medication is for Bipolar and GAD, (Latuda, Lamictal, Zoloft, Buspar and Trazadone) In a nutshell, all this stuff boils down to me feeling like all my emotions are ramped up much higher than normal... Even on strong meds... On top of that, I am so affected by emotions that I see in other people that I've been called an "empath" by several people... I have high intelligence, but my emotions are so messed up... To give you an idea when I was 11 a psych report said I had the critical thinking skills of an adult, but the emotions of a 3-5 year old... That's terrible!!! They want me to go through DBT therapy, I've tried before but I'm so impulsive I have a very hard time applying the skills.... I need advice because I'm tired of living in an emotional whirlwind... __________________ It's as simple as I love birds...

I have bp 1, not bpd, and I have taken DBT three times. I use it more than anything else other than prayer and meditation. I strongly advise u to dig into it and learn what fits for and to you.

Yes, it took more than one DBT program to really help me.

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