EUPD-Emotionally Unstable Peronality Disorder
 

So i got told I have EUPD ..they told me that they cant give me tablets to help with it because tablets wont make any difference and i will still feel the same..i am stuck on feeling low ...i dont feel like doing anything at all to be honest ....does anyone have any idea of how to make myself get up and go ...and be more motivated ...even when i do things i like i am still feeling down and then my emtions change so fast ...the dostor said my mood will keep going so im ...fine then to feeling low then to feeling angry in just seconds ....i dont know how to control it

therapy.
probably DBT.

apparently you grow out of it eventually.

I'm slightly confused, I thought you had been diagniosed with this for a while? But you are talking about it like you have just been diagnosed.

Beckie is right, it is something that needs therapy to help more than meds.

no I was diagnosed with something else and been told I have this

So, why were you posting in the BPD thread if you didn't have it before you have been told you have it claiming that you have it?

Sorry if it seems like I am being a pain, just genuinley confused.

BPD and EUPD isn't the same is it ?

it is the same. just different names for it.

who diagnosed you and what was your diagnosis before?
how old are you anyway, i'm sure i've asked before and you haven't answered.

yes borderline is the same thing as emotinaly unstable personality disorder. Its just the new name for it but has not changed to it officaly. Its mostly known as bordelrine personality disorder. Meds can help actualy Im suprised they said they wouldnt. Maybe geting a second opinion if you want meds. Im on a antipsychotic it helps with my moods Im not scizophenia or anything . Im on it for my moods maybe a antipsycotic can help you too. Ask a doctor get a second opinion. Good luck

Meds won't help cure the actual illness but they might help with the urges n mood swings etc

BPD and EUPD are the same thing.

Have the doctors given you any support to help you with your PD?

I have been asked about psychology and I said yes but I haven't ears anything from my worker or anything about it since she asked

Chase it up?

You have to take a bit of responsibility. You can't go through life expecting things like this to be done for you. They may have forgotten, there are long waiting lists too, so like Katy said, chase it up!

It can take aaaages to be referred to a psychologist. I was referred in September/October and started seeing mine in February. There are often long waiting lists.

However, as others have said, you need to take responsibility for this and to chase it up with the workers since they'll be incredibly busy and might forget to tell you things. Ask them what's happening?

i do take responsiblity for things i dont let everyone do everything for me

So what do you want from this thread?

why does people always say things like that on my thread

Because it isn't actually clear what you want from it.

Or rather. It was clear and we have now answewred questions/explained things/asked questions and it seems to be going nowhere.

well im tired of things like that been said on my thread ....i write them for support and having people saying what do i want from them and all that is doing my heading because i dont go on to other peoples and say that so people need to stop doing it to mine ..its the forums obvious if i am posting its for support

I think perhaps the threads can seem quite circular sometimes, and it would be good to know what you needed or wanted from us. For example, do you find this thread helpful at the moment? Different people are looking for different things on RYL.

I'm glad to hear you are safe after the other day Gem.

What Soph said!

I will just stop writing on it

All we want to know is how we can now support you.

i dont no sorry.

Sometimes its okay not to know what help you want just knowing that you need it can be enough. I've often asked for help and not known what help I want. I have BPD/EUPD and I actually find meds help a bit. I take antid's and antip's and find I stay slightly more level with them. Maybe you could ask more about the meds side of things. Although it tends to be trial and error you might find something that makes life a little bit easier. As far as waiting lists go - they are a pain and its awful that people struggling to cope have to add it to their list of worries. I'm sorry that not much can be done about it. Just stay persistent, keep nagging because sometimes they get so sick of you that they give you a bit of a boost ;) Hope that helps you some.

I agree re meds, they always say eugh no meds won't help bpd but it can help with some of the depression or moods swings that come with it.

Dbt is usually the offered therapy for bpd.

Sadly yss there can b quite a wait, in the meantime, try to find things to keep you occupied in positive ways, make sure you still socialise with friends, do thing you enjoy. Get outdoors, all helps a little with mood

BPD is the DSM name for this personality disorder. However EUPD is the ICD10 name for this illness. They have slightly different criterias but pretty much the same.

Keep chasing up the referral to psychology. I was referred to DBT in August and even though im considered a *high risk* and priority and top of the list for DBT; im still waiting. So basically what im saying keep asking and finding out when your likely to start.

If meds help keep you on a even level then they may be worth a shot is well.
