[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 345206, member: 1550"] Hi, Heather. I will try to help. As you know, I just figured out *I* had/have borderline all my life (thankfully under mucho control now), but your daughter sounds so much like me. I was afraid of everything, phobic about the dumbest things, and such a bad hypochondriac that the paramedics knew me. We exchanged pleasantries once I was calmer. I didn't have periods of not remembering completely, but I would get so worked up that things would be fuzzy and I had that yukky depersonalization too. I remembered what happened during it, but it was NOT fun...it was so frightening. Heather, the only thing that really helped me that much were medication...and they were magic for me. The anxiety and obsessing over my millions of phobias just seemed to go away, making me wonder if the phobias aren't a bit of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)??? I had to try a lot of medications to find a good combo the worked for me, but Paroexotene has been gold for me and Clonazapan has stopped my panic attacks cold. I would go through years of having no panic attacks and then when stress kicked up, so did they and they'd get intense. Also cognitive therapy really REALLY helped me on every level. At fifteen, I was a complete wreck. It was one of my worst years and lasted into my early 30's. I hope that isn't the case for your daughter. I don't know if this helped any. I do know that there is a new type of therapy for borderline personality disorder which, unless I have the wrong child, I believe she was diagnosed with. It is called dialectal behavioral therapy and I think it's manna from heaven. You can find out about it by looking it up on the internet. There are some really good workbooks for it too if nobody in your area does it. Just a suggestion in case you are thinking of switching her type of therapy. I know she's driving you nuts, but I also know she is scared all the time and suffering too. Whatever you decide to do, I hope it helps her...and that way it will also take the stress off of you. Lots and lots of luck...and hang in there. The todoc...I'd think of dumping him. [/QUOTE]
