Living has become a daily nightmare these past couple weeks. Since I have borderline personality disorder, it is time to begin DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). My therapist told me I had to be absolutely sure ??? I could go to both sessions a week, one w/ her and one w/ the group. Since my last doc w/ the God syndrome, whom I will no longer see, said I was noncompliant (It was becaue I was in the midwest watching my father die!). That was one of his reasons for taking me off Klonopin. I was on six a day. Now, I am noncompliant, and I AM missing appts., all kinds of appts. My anxiety level has gone way up, beyond what two Klonopin can even touch, and I can’t go anywhere and am agoraphobic. The system I’m in hasn’t even appointed me a new doc yet. I am either in physical or emotional pain constantly and suidical ideation is at its greatest. The will and the way are literally worked out. My therapist said that if I failed to comply w/ DBT it could be very bad for me. I am so undescribably scared and fear (I HATE FEAR) is ruling me. Still my fam of origin does not show that they care about my illness, as my father did. My children love me so much that they are even willing to let me go if I can no longer stand living. My caseworker says ‘don’t sabotage yourself.’ but I am. HELP! Please help me hang on. I don’t know how to go it alone anymore! I need you all so very much. cf

I don't have BPersonalityD but I do have my own problems: recurrent major depressions. I haven't been precisely where you are but I've been in some pretty awful places. This will sound trite, because it is, but you will get better. Here are the things I think you need to do. It sounds like your suffering from severe depression right now. You need proper medication. Get a psychiatrist you can trust as soon as you can. I don't know how hard this is going to be for you, but it sounds like you have some financial and health care system constraints. You'll have to wait it out. It's awful, but it's all you can do and it's what you owe yourself. Finally if the suicidal ideation starts to become intent check yourself into the nearest emergency room. This, too, is no fun, but hospitalization is better than dying even though you may not feel it to be so. It's a horrible road, but there are 100s of us on this board who've walked it. Keep talking to us. We'll see you through it.
