maddy harper Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi and welcome. I to found that when i was diagnosed with bpd that the diagnosis fitted my symptems. I had been struggling with bpd for years and voices and wondered why i kept self medicatimg and goin off the rails. It didnt excuse my behavior but it explained a lot like you said.

Lucid Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi all I'm new here, In fact new to my "diagnosis" really struggling to comprehend what these people/experts are tring to tell me. Been diagnosed schizoaffective. Hearing voices constantly and all sorts of strange things happening in my world. I've been put on a cocktail of drugs including rispiradone while those around me anticipate a "break" in my "symptoms" wondering if anyone here can tell me how I'd know these drugs are helping and what "breaking psychosis" feels like... I'm really scared, very isolated and confused. I hope I can make some genuine connections here. Thanks in advance for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threemoons Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hi and welcome to you two! I hope that your stay here will be comfy and helpful. Lucid, you'll know that the meds are helping when your symptoms will decrease in intensity and frequency. For example you'll hear the voices less often and they'll be less loud. In my experience the drugs don't cure psychosis but they do make things more manageable. You can significantly improve your quality of life by observing your treatment and making sure you have a good hygiene of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddy harper Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Your diagnosis means your skitzophrenic and bi polar together. Thats what skitzo effective means. Hope this helps. I to hear voices so i know what your going through but i am not skitzophrenic i have borderline personality disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
