Yeah so I'm happy that my anxiety and panic attacks have subsided with the new meds, but wow where did this depression come from? I wear this smile all day for the kids and husband... but inside I'm just ugh. And I'm not talking to my mother, so I don't have her. plus I've no friends outside of Facebook. I haven't drank or self harmed in 11 years... but the other day hurting myself crossed my mind. Maybe it's time for a tattoo? They tell me they can't treat the depression because antidepressants make those with depression even more prone to suicide? Has anyone with the dual diagnosis of Bipolar and BPD ever heard this before? I'm so tired of being a guinea pig. it's been decades.

      I hear you. I've struggled for years as well... Yes we do tend to feel like Guinea pigs don't we. Some meds will treat us and then some make us worse. I'd get the tattoo before you harm yourself. Our kids are our meds. I've been depressed for a while now. To make matters worse my car got stolen a few nights ago. It's crazy the things we have to deal with.never in my life did I think I'd be dealing with this. What ever had you down just know you will get through it. Hope you start having better days.
