what is the correct treatment i should be getting for my bpd?
borderline personlity disorder: i have high anxiety and panic problems that have made me agrophobic:
i have rage and anger i struggle to control….i control it but struggle..but still get the intense feelings..
i feel i have ptsd symptoms resulting from an abusive, traumatic, bullying life… i get startled at loud noises..have panic attacks..
i have low depressive moods each day, feel lonely, isolated and cut off.. directionless.
i have racing thoughts everyday, where a 100 thoughts race through my brain, thoughts and anxieties….i forget constantly…..cant concentrate…like obsessive wories….i think of something, but forget it a minute later….then i get more anxious and depressed.
ive been refered for psychotherapy…but my psychiatrist wont give me any meds saying the ones that work are addictive..
theyve given me an occupational therapist to.
is this the right treatment? am i missing out on anything? if so, what treatment should i be getting for these problems?
There are no medications to treat Borderline Personality disorder. However, if the person has depression, psychosis, or anxiety those things can be treated.
the Doctor could give you medication for a panic disorder, and anxiety but, it is up to him to make that decision.
if you are not satisfied with the treatment your getting, find a new doctor .
It is good that you have OT. But some of your other symptoms could be treated more effectively.

You need to go to another psychiatrist please and let him evaluate these problems and who ever your psy is has a lot of nerve because he can prescribe meds on a weekly basis it sounds to me like he gave up on you and you don’t need this,,,,please go see another psychiatrist kara

DBT talk therapy, borderline group therapy if in your area, and seeing a psychiatrist for any appropriate medication.
