Hi..., Not even sure this goes here...

I am 22 years old, I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder with severe depression and borderline personality disorder...I'm supposed to be taking meds..(Zoloft 100mg, Lithium 900mg, and Seroquel 100mg) But I seem to forget to take them, or I get tired of them...While on the meds Im not me...Ive gotten to the point in life where Im fed up, anything small happens the first thought that comes to my mind is kill myself...I think about death over stupid stuff...I hate it, I thought I was gonna get better but Im not sure I will...I have been SIng a lot more lately...And I feel guilty about it the next day...Is there really a point where we have no choice but to give up?

Thanks for taking the time to write...Hmmm...no, I don't think there's a time to give up...just from what you've said, it seems evident your meds. are not working the way they should be...you need to make an appointment with the physician who prescribed them for you and tell him/her what you have said here...they should either increase the dosage of your meds. or they should put you different ones...while there, you might also ask if they have a counselor they refer out to for therapy...if so, you should consider seeing a face-to-face therapist until your situation improves...and, you menionted Dorderline Personality Disorder (BPDO) is not cure-able by definition...with therapy, you can decrease the amplitude of the symptoms, but the underlying symptoms will always be there to some degree.

Hope this gives you enough information to get started on the road to recovery...please stop by after you've seen your physician and let us know how things have improved...we'd love to hear from you.

Warmest regards,

Dr. Dave
