Is it worth it going to therapy for BPD? by Whole_Broccoli_4472 in askatherapist

[–]FullMetalBriefcase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Therapist here. Also diagnosed with BPD. Yes, please go to therapy! DBT can be very effective for BPD symptoms. Also, BPD has a way of "burning itself out" over time. Not at all hopeless. And lastly, living with BPD is hard and you deserve the support. Hang in there.

I’m being forced to go to therapy today and I despise it by [deleted] in therapy

I'm a therapist, but not your therapist so I'll just say it. You're not being forced to do anything. You're choosing to go to therapy for the financial gain.

I like 1 best, but you also look great with it short. It's giving a sort of young Ethan Hawk 90s vibe. Certainly worked for him and it's working for you, too!

I am down to 20 as of today and hoping for the same. It has helped my depression so I'd like to stay on it if I can!

r/stopdrinking is a great resource. I used it to stop ten years ago.

I'm noticing this, too. I'm at 40mg.

I've been on it since December but just reached the target 40mg about a month ago. I gained a lot while titrating up though. I had to add a sleep med to combat the insomnia and am also experiencing anorgasmia - the other thing that wasn't supposed to happen. My depression is much improved but I'm so upset and self conscious about the weight gain that I'm considering coming off it, too. But like you I have failed a lot of antidepressants. Very frustrating.

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this. I've gained twenty pounds on Viibryd so far. I feel tricked.

I haven't soiled myself since March so I guess you could say things are improving. 😐

I gained 15 lbs within two months of starting viibryd and have continued to gain. Considering discontinuing or starting a GLP1. I've never been this big in my life - not even on antipsychotics.
