New Diagnosis

I'm excited and anxious at the same time!

Today, I was supposed to get my Buspirone doubled and an antidepressant (yay). I wasn't looking forward to it, but was happy to get more Buspirone! It really helps with general anxiety symptoms. Sandra is a blessing. She seems to know everything. Nearly every medicine she's prescribed has worked really well for me. So today, when I was telling her some experiences I had this week, she asked: Do you know anything about BPD?

Not really. I'd heard of it in social work class, but...yeah. She prescribed an anti-psychotic as I told her more. She got out her DSM and we went through it. Yeah. Borderline Personality Disorder. I had more than 5 of the 9 symptoms needed to make a diagnosis. And now I'm looking at it myself. It makes sense. Lots of things are beginning to make a lot of sense. Of course, it has a very high co-morbidity of depression and anxiety disorders.

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

I think we found the final puzzle piece.

I'm seriously going to cry. I'm so grateful there is a chance at normalcy now that we've finally figured out what's going on.
