Borderline Personality Support Group

Some of you may remember that the evening/nights can be really bad for me. I do well all day distracting my depression and my emotions are average. In the evening, many times I will get really depressed and/or experience huge tremendous waves of overwhelming emotions. It is kind of like having a breakdown every night.

Well my pdoc finally prescribed me something to help me during the evenings/nights. She prescribed me .5 mg of Ativan to take in the evenings. I have been doing this for about a week and it is really helping a lot!

I just wanted to share with everyone an update on me!

It feels good to have something other than my DBT skills to help me with the evenings.

I'm happy to hear that, I know you've been going through some hard times here lately. That couldn't have been helping with the overwhelming emotions you were already having.

Yay April! I am so glad that is working for you. I have dealt with some of the same issues as well. I know you must have also worked that red dress

I finally gave in and asked for something to help. I have been using my DBT skill in the evening but have always felt like they were not enough. Now I have something to assist with the DBT skills. It is working very well but last night I had to take 2 pills instead of just one. I hope tonight goes better.

April, I'm glad you found something to help you during the rough evenings. I know you struggle with them. Do you think there's a problem since you are taking two of them now? Is that still an acceptable amount?

I was going to send you a pm as a follow up from last night, but I figured out what happened. Somehow I didn't belong to this group. I checked the groups I belong to and this one wasn't listed and I have no idea what happened. So I just rejoined tonight and that's how I can now post.

I'm so happy that you have something to help Jaye

Angela,

I am going to call my pdoc and let her know that I had to take 2 pills. I am hoping she will just increase my dosage.

Well Angela I am glad you are part of the group again! We would have missed you dearly!

Thank you, April! I would've missed everyone here, too!

Oops, I tried to edit my first post on here rather then this one. Just wanted to add that I was like a little child. When I couldn't post, I was reading something that someone wrote and it was like I had my hand upin the air saying, "I want to talk. I want to talk, too."
