BPD & Medical ID
Hi,
I have been diagnosed with BPD, and am well aware that those with the disorder can be impulsive. I was wondering if I was in a situation and was impulsive and did something very harmful to myself, would it be a good idea to have one of those medical ID apps on my phone which explain I have BPD and an anxiety disorder with a list of medications I'm on? Like so if I'm in that much of a state or unable to give them information for whatever reason.
I mean I'm on Fluoxetine and I know SSRI's can have a lot of interactions with many different drugs. If my Boyfriend had to take me to hospital or something, and they asked him what meds I was on he wouldn't have a clue! He wouldn't remember them all.
Does anyone else keep a medical ID on their phone on in their bag for emergencies, or don't you think it's needed unless you have a a medical problem which isn't mental health related?
