dayterror Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Not really sure what to say. The basics I guess... I'm 31, female from so. california. I think I got my first BPD dx about 13 years ago. I've actually been doing quite well for the past several months, but recently it's been creeping back up on me. I s'pose that has coincided with going off lexapro, which I had to do cuz of financial reasons. I'm really terrifed of swinging back into the throws of BPD, cuz I now have a wonderful GF and I'm so afraid of messing things up/ hurting her/ scaring her away. She's very supportive. But she doesn't know how awful I can be. So I'm gonna browse around now, and hopefully meet some of you. Guess I figured out what to say after all....

Betsy Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Welcome. You will find lots of support here. I think we all know the "creeping back feeling" so maybe finding others to chat with along the way will help! Certainly hope so. Bets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budgie Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi DayTerror Sure you are most welcomed here. AT least u realised the "creeping back" feeling! For me, I was gung ho, thought I was out of the forest, went off my medicines (hey, they are expensive eh!), and, after 2 weeks, I practically, literally, emotionally, crashed out. Had to be hospitalised, and stayed away from home a whole month, away from hubby, away from my young kids. Thats BPD relapse for me. Now I take my meds. The temptation is always here you know, "eh..actually I do feel better...", now never delude ourselves. Daily, even my hubby ask if I have taken my meds now! Anyway, we are here for you, with you. Wish to meet you some day. Budgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayterror Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Actually, the creeping back feeling kicked me in the teeth. So it was pretty easy to recognize. Everything was going great, and then it suddenly went ick. It was so extreme, that I couldn't help but notice. And I'm trying very hard not to let it take over.
