hey peeps ;-) I needed some opinions...I have borderline personality disorder, major depression, ptsd, ocd, add..and fibromyalgia *yuck*
I have had therapy in the past and am currently in therapy again for the past year and a half or so. I don't know if I am in the right kind of therapy.I am currently on paxil, seroquel and wellbutrin for about 6 months now maybe more..can't remember anything! I don't feel that much better than when I first started therapy up again. panic attacks are less, rage is a bit less, but lately, I feel like cutting again. I haven't done that in over 12 years now! I don't know what to do.Is there a special therapist that deals with borderlines?sorry this was long winded-thanks!

I don't know what to do.Is there a special therapist that deals with borderlines?sorry this was long winded-thanks!Well, I'm new to this place and new to therapy, so don't take what I say seriously. But for me personally it was like that. I knew I wasn't doing too good so my G.P. put me on Celexa. Its seemed ok.Side effects were so-so. I was certainly less irritable. But after I'd been on for a couple of months I started cutting again. I too hadn't cut for years. DON'T CUT!!!! The scars are way worse when your older.Ugly and purple. So I don't know what to suggest, there's lots of good people on this board that may have some good suggestions.
N.B. I recently went off celexa (2 wks. now) and feel ok. Don't feel like cutting anymore. HATE the scars. I have to lie to my kids about them. That REALLY bothers me.
Never give up!

I started cutting while on an SSRI. And found it way harder to stop while I was on one. They did some studies and found that two different types of cutters had two different responses to SSRI's. Some cut more and some cut less.
It's somewhere in the tips section of Babble, I think. I could be wrong about that.
Seroquel should help with that though.
