All my reading has pretty much convinced me that most BP people WILL NOT get treatment. Part of being BP is the world view that everyone else is crazy/wrong. Also, there are really no medicines for BPD. Many BPs are on drugs for other coexisting conditions such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar, etc. But to actually cure the BPD there just isn't a drug that works. At least not yet. It is my understanding that it takes years of therapy with willing patient to change a BPD. That is one reason so many therapists and psychologists just don't address or recognise BPD. It is very difficult to diagnose, difficult to treat and there aren't drugs that really help. It is much more complex than just simple depression or anxiety. These conditions can be helped by medications. But not BPD. At least this is what I understand about it. Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 I wish it was that simple, we would all be much happier well adjusted people!!! I think someone else commented on there being no particular medicine that works. My mom was on more meds than anyone I have ever seen- she was also bipolar, alcoholic, general hypochondriac, and none seemed to make much difference. It seems once she got on the " wonderwheel " of medication that it was just a nonending cycle of experimentation, side effects, etc. If one med causes a side effect, they give you another one to treat the side effect, which causes more side effects, hence the term " wonderwheel " in my opinion. I know people who have been helped tremendously by meds, my best friend is type 1 bipolar and they have helped her, but in my mom's case I think the meds just caused her to abuse them and always need more. Sorry not to have something more uplifting for you, but welcome! You will find everyone here understands in a way no one else can.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi , I wish it were simple as a 'pill' or medication! It is not unusual for people with BPD to not get treatment. My mother never has; in fact, confronting her has resulted in disastrous consequences for me. You must learn how to protect and take care of yourself - because none of this is your fault. I suggest reading 'Understanding the Borderline Mother' if you have not already. I think it will give you more insight into this condition. All the best.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well, the thing is now I realize not to put much value in what Mom thinks negatively about me and not get depressed. She was mean (considering it was just food) when I put garlic and onion powder in the hamburger and beans. I said, " I don't care. Next time if you want it made then don't shirk it off on me. " She didn't like that too much. I have the Walking on Eggshells book that her husband bought and I plan on reading it (Mom will get MAD if she finds out I'm reading it). *writes down title* Need it. > > Hi , > > I wish it were simple as a 'pill' or medication!

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Welcome, ! I'm , and I have diagnosed my mother with BPD lol. Like you said, always the victim, argues to the death that the sky is green and the grass is blue lol, that kind of thing. From what I understand there's no medication, but we can dream, right? Good luck, and I'm here to chat/vent! wrote: I don't know if we do intros or not, but here goes anyway. I'm , I'm 27 and my Mom has BPD. She is always the victim, she turns every argument she starts into one I've started, she seems to attack me more than my sister, but takes it out most on my nieces. She WILL NOT get treatment for it. Does anyone know of any medicines that could be slipped into her coffee in the morning? Someone else can easily make her coffee for her. My sister is always up with her in the morning and could do it. PLEASE?? --------------------------------- It's here! Your new message! Get new email alerts with the free Yahoo! Toolbar.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hello, My name is Anthea Carson. I've suffered with this condition all my life and finally have a group to join. Thanks to whoever formed this group. I so wish this diagnosis of Misophonia had been around when I lost my daughter because my ex-husband managed to convince me that I was crazy, so I let him take her away and didn't fight him in the courts. I finally found someone who is willing to live with the difficulty inherent in being married to someone with this condition. Here is a blog I wrote about it. Blog on Misophonia: http://antheajane.blogspot.com/2012/05/misophonia.html I read there is a survey to fill out if you join this group, but I can't figure out where it is. So if someone knows something about that, let me know. Anthea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
