[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 569524, member: 455"] Thank you everyone. It is good that she has gotten back on board with this. She did it in early teens and did well enough to get through school and graduate and then spiraled down once she started out on her own and into college and no support and bad help through college psychiatrist plus all the stress and everything else that comes with the college experience. It was like BAM! So, out of college she had to go and that fiasco in itself has wrecked havoc, the damage of having to pull her and the consequences of not being able to get back into college now (long story posted before on this and ongoing saga). Janet, they say the Dialactic is the only therapy that truly works with personality disorders, especially if the person is invested in their therapy and LIKES their therapist. I can't say that she "likes" her therapist as she doesn't exactly but she tolerates her because there is really no one else and tolerating is better then nothing. Know what I mean?? The fact that therapist was willing to take on learning this therapy is wonderful and great and that SHE is participating is making the difference. Also the fact that even though she tends to want to be non medication compliant in the traditional BiPolar (BP) "medications don't work" or fail, which they usuaully do, she still will take. We've finally got depakote working "fairly" well in keeping her semi even in moods. Nothing ever has before. She's never been able to take an anti depressant before either as it's triggered mania since she never was able to be on the mood stabilizer (failed them).
