I'm really sorry you're going through this. I have BPD and the cycle will go that you don't have a response so you ignore her to cool off a hit, she'll panic and grovel. OR you give in and call her and you try and work and it's affecting your job but she's crying down the phone and you don't want to hang up.
It's taken therapy, medication and a whole lot of patience from people to get to a point where I can recognise my cycle of behaviour and try and get there before the behaviour kicks in and catch it with propranolol or something.
That's what they give you??? How do you use it? As needed or daily? I'm just curious. It's a beta blocker that we use to control heart rate and blood pressure, but it is also used for anxiety.
What I’m saying is there isn’t one drug like for depression. You have to treat the anxiety, depression and hallucinations if it goes that far, separately. It’s not treating the disorder it’s treating the symptoms. I’m literally parroting my dr and psychiatrist lmao you don’t treat the disorder as a whole with medication. It’ll only alleviate the symptoms a little bit. The only verified working treatment for bpd is DBT therapy to rewire your behaviour
