Borderline personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder

I have just recently found out that I have borderline personality disorder. Does anyone else have this and how do you cope? I feel like nothing is working. Is there medication that helps? My ex recently left me for someone else and plays with my mind telling me he wants to be with me but then changing his mind and because of the bpd I can't cope with it and I know he isn't good for me but all I want to do is contact him. Last time we spoke he told me to stab myself with a lethal injection because no one would miss me anyway.

Where do you get the manual from?

Re: Borderline personality disorder

@Bpd_89 I got the DBT skills training manual and the treatment manual from the Book Depository. Any of the online stores should have them. Marsha Linehan is the author (and developer of DBT). The skills training manual has all the handouts in it that people get in groups. It also provides all the information that the therapist is supposed to cover in the group. The treatment manual provides a very comprehensive overview of the theoretical framework of DBT. You need to remember that both of the manuals are written for therapists - they aren't actually designed to be a self-help resource. There are lots of other DBT self-help resources out there though. If you just do a search for dialectical behaviour therapy in one of the online bookstores, a bazillion results will come up. I specifically wanted the treatment manual/skills manual because this is the original source. Any self-help books are based on what's in those manuals.
