Medicines and therapy go hand-in-hand.  You have to really want to get better, Amber.  The therapists give you the tools so that you don't dwell on things until you want to die.  Then you have to put them into action yourself.  Then you said you tried to kill yourself once, then you said you never have thoughts of hurting yourself?  A LOT of people are addicted to misery.  It's true.  If you've felt this way for years, in a strange way it's comforting to just stay in the negative.  Only you can stop that.

It has been proven that combined treatment of medication and therapy go hand in hand.  She should consider seeing a specialist who can not only diagnose her but also prescribe the right combinations of medications in conjunction with the therapy.

Therapy and medication if your therapist and you decide that is the route to go.  You are not alone in your diagnosis.  At least you know what the issue is, continue with therapy as long as you need to and don't feel bad for having BPD - it's nothing  you asked for, and nothing YOU can control.  God bless!!!!

I think she handled this very badly. Perhaps she was greedy too because she should have offered you one treatment to try if you've never had it before. Once you've had your treatment then she should have offered you a course of treatment (which is usually six treatments) with a bit of price reduction if you pay up front for the whole block of treatments. But she still should have offered you the chance to spread the costs to suit your wallet. These alternative therapies do work and they are worth the money, however, a lot depends on the therapist. Usually the pushy ones or those that can't handle the sale of the treatment are not very good. Find one that is confident you'll be back for more treatment, because they are the good ones! And £35 for a session is about the correct price but you should be able to get a discount if you buy more sessions in one go.

The value of treatment is to offer you a chance to get a little relief from your emotional stress (it is EXHAUSTING to change moods fast, control anger, maintain relationships with family and friends, hold down a job, etc. when all of these goals conflict.) The world isn't easy for anyone, but it's exponentially harder when you're fighting depression, the desire to cut and maim yourself, uncontrollable compulsions, extreme anxiety and miscellaneous other pressures. You can choose not to continue therapy, but honestly you can live a more balanced life. You might have to change doctors a few times, and will DEFINITELY change medications more than a few times. Bipolar disorder is a chemical imbalance that requires medication to balance. And PTSD can be controlled with therapy. But you have to be willing to work with someone, and be patient. Its a long, hard road. But you have every right to a happier life. And I urge you to pursue it.

Unfortunately, yes.  Ask your doctor for something with not quite so many negative side effects.

Psychotherapy is helpful in the way that it helps you understand that your in a cycle of abuse and to also help you relise that you are a worthwhile person, so don't try to commit suicide because these a***holes have abused you. Remember you cannot help what's happened to you even if you have tried rationalising the circumstances around your abuse. You don't deserve to be abused in any form, sexually, emotionally, verbally or finacially and it's not your fault, please remember that. I have also been through this and made it through to the end of the tunnel. You killing yourself is not the answer, but fighting to be part of this world and have a good life is! Anyone whose ever said, "You probably deserved it" or "You need to forget about it" should be whipped and chained themselves. You'll never forget, but you can get on and have a healthier and better life, and it will take time to heal those wounds and to gain trust back, but it will happen if you give psychotherapy a go, and take anti anxiety meds for a while to help rationalise you. Yes, psychotherapy may bring up some past horrors, but sometimes you need to face them to overcome the fears, and I know how bloody hard that is, but it helped me to face many demons and triumph over them. Now I am remarried to a wonderful and loving man, and I have my three children who I adore. Now I know what life is all about and so will you if you want to start healing. Be kind to yourself and let psychotherapy start healing you.

Go to another doctor.

If this is a legitimate question, you should submit to speaking to a counselor or psychotherapist.  That will serve the purpose of satisfying their concern, as well as giving you an outlet for whatever may be bothering you.  In order to do this, however, you must withstand the urge to be embarassed about it.  Lots of people go to therapy these days.

You need to see a good physical therapist (like me) who can prescribe the RIGHT kind of exercises that you need for both your problems following an evaluation where he performs strength, range of motion and other tests on you to determine which exercises will help you.  The wrong exercises will only make your problems worse.

I think therapy might really help in your situation. If nothing else see if the local Catholic church can help.

See a thearapist or psyciatrist <sp?>.  Therapy and/or dication helps alot.  If the situation gets to bad and your affraid that you might hurt yourself in the real near future, get yourself to the ER / Hospital.  Psyc. hospitals aren't as bad as they are protraited and it may save your life.\n\nIn short there is help out there, if you can't find it on your own, your family doctor can steer you in the right direction.

You should  just tell the counseling companies exactly what you wrote there. They should be able to work around that lack.

Talk to him about being negative or get to couple therapy to see what is going on.

Any kind of therapy-physical, occapational, speech, although you prob won't be able to find a job working exclusively with them.  Also social workers, and working in a group home.  All I can think of off the top of my head.

A better question is what therapist should you go to.  You are pushing your kid way too much.  Just let him have fun for God's sake.
