> Jimmy, you are a gem.
Thanks...
> Thanks for for the download nice and slow.
> My mind is amuck racing right now with regrets, irritation, and self-loathing. (PMS, disappointing acting class I drove an hour for, miss California, regrets, boredom) Right now I want to move to NYC, and I have a taste for a breakdown if only someone were awake.
> I WANT MEDICATION SOON! Get the picture?
>
> I will take your advice on the books. Already read some good articles and may take a class on personality psychology.
> And I am in the process of locating a psychiatrist who deals with BPD. Unfortunately the closest psychiatrists are 2 hours away. I'm in the "boonies" back in the nest as some cackling woman said to me today. I wanted to spit on her.It is worth the drive... (-:
> My doctor (regular physician) told me that because I am so sensitive and intolerant of side effects, she wants me on a high dose of St. John's Wort for the dysthymia. I wanted to cry. Maybe I'll just take the effexor after all.St. John's wort for you is like treating fire with a cup of water. Ask him for Serzone or Effexor + Low dose antipsychotic I'm sure you'll be able to tolerate.

> I appreciate your thoughts, and look forward to a real p-doc soon. Hopefully I can find one with experience, but I have my doubts. Perhaps I need to move to NYC to get good help. The idea now is that my folks help me out while I am dealing with my mental health. One step at a time, I guess. But I may be suffering unnecessarily here.
