Hi everyone. I'm new here and I'm a little desperate at the moment. I have bipolar2 and borderline personality disorder. Im not medicated at the moment and my mood swings are very bad at the moment. Just wanted to touch base with ppl who are in/ or who have been in the same boat as me. I need to know I'm not alone.

dear Aphrodite, thanks for posting your comment, which is rather serious believe or not.
I say this because being non medicated with BPD and Bipolar 2 is a condition which can be kept under control, depending on how your doctor treats you and has the desire to look after you.
No I haven't had BPD, however I know how it affects you, and by having clinical depression and not being medicated is extremely difficult.
I know that people may have to try many different types of medication or you maybe lucky and find the one that suits you, but you need something to help you to try and live a better life.
It's a handicap and please don't take this the wrong way, but so do I have one as I've had depression and the other illness that dictates how we live, and that's living with OCD.
I hope those that also have BPD will reply to you, but can I suggest that you visit your doctor. Geoff.

Well hello Aphrodite
That is a very interesting name that you are calling yourself.
You are not alone, because as I am writing this, I am thinking of you, and wondering how you are actually going.
I do not have any of the disorders that you have, but I am thinking if you come into another forum, you may find someone else who is facing the same issues as you. So I hope that helps you some. Anyway I just wanted to say hi, and to tell you that you are not alone and that I care about you.
With many hugs
Shelley anne

You're not alone:)
I was diagnosed with bipolar around 7yrs ago, & I am still not on the right medication. My moods, anxiety & uncontrollable emotions keep me pretty distant from the doctor!
Never forget that You're not alone!
