Hi :-)
yep I was diagnosed with a little BPD tendencies in 1996. I hear you-exactly>>>Therapy helped me understand why I feel the way I do, CBT was AWESOME to help me do this.
Is Zyprexa the only med you are on?
All the best to you! Hope to hear back.
KristenI also have BPD (though it is wonderfully called "Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder in Europe, though is still better known as BPD in the uK!).

I am no longer quite such a bad recluse (though that is taking time), the anxiety is nearly gone (I still get a minor attack every few weeks, but I was having BIG attacks 9 times a day or more). Its also helping me understand why I feel the way I do, which in turn is meant to make the feelings much less (early days yet!).
