That is brilliant news - its so reassuring and comforting to have contact with actual family who aren't in them selves.

Wow, I feel like an impulsive ass...
by Mincan inokay, so i'm talking to my friend on the phone, and i mention to her that i'm going to be asking my pyshiatrist for dexedrine next time i see him.
(i think i mentioned this intention other times, anyway, dexedrine is a brand name for the isolated d-isomer of amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and it is marketed to treat adhd.
it was actually the first such stimulant to be marketed for this purpose, before ritalin and all the others.

Like the others have said (and being a bit of a hypocrite here) its honestly best to get prescribed rather than self prescribe. I have a similar problem with focus and concentration - I have to do several things at once. Since I'm studying for my bachelors it can also be really a pain trying to complete assignments or even read the course material. Thus I work in 10-20 increments and then do something else for a few minutes and then I go back to it. I've never thought that it could be a recognised disorder so therefore I just found ways to deal with it and still accomplish things.
Personally I'm not a big fan of prescription drugs. I've been on them for 6 months for bi polar and in the main they have created more freaky side effects than solved anything for me. Take care of yourself and be alert to any unwanted changes of the meds you take - prescribed or not. And be honest with yourself. Some of these drugs have "fun" high effects - but that's not what they are for - can be easy to get addicted to that.

You all know how to make a gal feel welcome don't you!! I am rather touched as in moved not as in emotionally disturbed.
Mincan the information you've provided on BPD is really interesting - especially about the cycling. I'm currently on a drug for epilepsy which acts as a mood stabiliser and I have to say its working really well. Initially they were using it to complement a vat of anti-d's but they finally agreed I don't need that. I just need to have the my brain chemistry balanced out. So instead of cycles of 3 or 4 days its now 3 or 4 weeks which is much more predictable and handleable. Hopefully I can pay attention to the signs and minimise the collateral damage.

What interesting posts - thank you guys. No one has lied to me personally that elicited a thread, it was more a curiosity factor and that it seems they are more than a handful of people who create images of themseves on her that bear no resmblance to the reality. The knock on effect of that for me is that I dont really want to engage with anyone new on here anymore, just maintiain the circle that I have - and a wonderful buch you are too. I honestly couldnt wish for a better family. The ones who make stories up here - I just feel sorry for because they are missing out on so much.
Abandoned - just to clarify I have bi polar not borderline personality (although maybe I'll have that next year) and yes I know its not right to be in a state of ecstasy 85% of the time and raging mad an angry 15 of time. It doesnt conform to the norm. I am taking mood stabilisers which work for the most part and I have put myself in isolation from other human beings by never leaving the house except when I have to go to the doctors which is once a month. For the most part is works. Sometimes I do miss the human contact part though.

Dude, I feel so bad for you. I've had two girlfriends that I KNOW were diagnosed with BPD. A member of my family has it. And I believe that at least two of my acquainances have it. It's sad because the people that have it are never happy. They constantly feel chaos inside of themselve and the only time they feel relatively OK is when they are distracting themselves (a lot of times with drugs or reckless behavior) or are projecting their chaos onto someone else.
i DISAGREE. ITS UNTRUE. most of time I am ecstatically happy. therein lies the problem
