Borderline Personality Disorder

[Creed of Heresy]

This all is very true, yes. I personally am highly against the idea of giving medications to children until the age of 15, after which, it should be up to the individual whether or not they wish to take medication for it. quite often, ADHD in kids is just simple rambunctiousness. Knew a few people who supposedly had ADHD who had no attention spans, but they ended up just fine, and showed no further or showed minimal ADHD-like traits after they had cleared their teens. But then there was a few who had it and it got much worse. I've seen different approaches work, but interestingly, the most effective ones are the ones that aren't limited to just one treatment method, but rather the breadth of what is available. What a surprise, uh? But yeah. I didn't go in and have them diagnose me out of the blue, and my psychologist was hesitant to say I'm borderline, but after some discussion she admitted that I fit the archetype too closely for there to be any doubt, and suggested I get a second opinion through my psychiatrist just to be sure. Which I'll be doing on Monday. After that, I dunno. Treatment is obviously a goal, but I dunno where to even begin, which has me worried. But, hell, recognizing a problem is the first step to getting it fixed, so I probably shouldn't despair. Honestly, I'm still me, I'm still who I was before I suspected it, and maybe once I'm done, I'll be me without the endless second-guessing and emotional padlocking.
