I'm sorry I haven't been around for bloomin' ages, but I want to get back to chatting with people here in the BPD thread. Hope it's not rude of me to come back like this.

Did I read that it was your birthday, Rowie? Happy birthday hun.

[~Grace~]

Are you ok Ali? xx

Hi Laura..itll be nice to have you around!
and yes it is thank you xx

Thinking of you Oliver..hope it goes ok xx

[frenchhorn]

thank you everyone.
It went ok I guess, my 2 current meds have been increased and she has asked my gp to do blood tests so she can put me on lithium when i go back in 3 months, but i just feel like i can never get accross how I really have been feeling in the short time, and she just seems to discard really strong feelings because I havnt necessarily acted on them all so it was mixed.

happy birthday Rowie :)

[ferretmonster]

hmmm well dont go doing anything because you think it will prove things, I know how it can feel sometimes x

She must be taking you seriously to up meds and look into lithium, thats some strong stuff.

Im g,lad it went ok though, keep thinking of the postitive

[DestroyMe]

yeah I have issues remembering to use it too :)

how's everyone today?

Hey i havnt been on the thread before, i was wondering if i could ask a bit of advice? sorry if its inappropriate im just sooo lost right now and dont know where to turn!!! ignore me if u like!

basically, im pretty sure i have bpd, if i read the symptoms, it sounds like someone is describing me. my psychiatrist is reluctant to tell me any sort of diagnosis (i havnt told him anything about thinking i have bpd), but id just like to know what is wrong. I take 150mg of effexor, and have now just been put on 150mg of seroquel, but I don't know what its for!

Any ideas? I know i just need to probably outright ask him if i have bpd or not, but i dont see them again now for 2months!! Its driving me a bit mad (sorry for the pun, just realised )

[whirlpools]

This is a pretty standard response, but we can't tell you here on RYL if you have BPD or not because we're not professionals working with you in your care. I do think that it might be helpful to ask your psychiatrist or other professional working with you if BPD might be a correct diagnosis. I can empathise with wanting to know what it is you're dealing with - maybe it's worth asking your psychiatrist next time why he's reluctant to give you a diagnosis (some professionals are reluctant, because a label can become quite difficult to shake off) and explain to him why you feel it would be helpful to know.

[frenchhorn]

I echo what Laura said beautifulpain, we can't tell you whether you have BPD or not, but talking to your psychiatrist would be a good idea

[beautifulpain]

Thanks for the replies :) will ask next time i see him. But was just wondering if anyone knew what seroquel is for? Suppose I'm just freaking out a little as when I typed it in the internet all I got was a load of confusion, and alot of sites said it was commonly used in schizophrenia, which I know Im not.
