Hey! Yes, I’ve come out of hiding to finally comment on here with you again. Thank you for your honesty. I spent 5 1/2 years with someone who I believe has BPD (been told by her family members that she does), but flat out refuses to admit and get furious with the phrase even being brought up. Makes me wonder if she would have opened up to the idea of talking to someone or even acknowledging that there was an issue, we wouldn’t be getting ready to sign divorce papers in January. It was next to impossible to leave and it almost and I MEAN almost killed her (literally) and that fact haunts me daily (almost 6 months later). I guess the whole point of this post is more of a thank you for the discussion with Remi and Help?

Hi Susan, I’ve been to A LOT of doctors over the years and a total of 8 of them told me they believed I was resistant to medication. That however didn’t stop them from trying to give me more and more and more drugs to cover up the terrible side effects I was experiencing. It got to the point where I was taking medications simply to off set the side effects of the other medications. Ha! My medicine had medicine. It was a disaster.

No more drugs for me.

I’ve been reading your blog since the very beginning and being a licensed psychiatrist I could easily see your mood swings in your blogs. You do live your life in extremes, with very little balance in the middle. But I applaud your brutal honesty and I think it’s great that you’ve started to write about your disease. Since that acts as an outlet for you as well as some what of a cyber support for others going through the same thing, and knowing that someone like yourself is dealing with this also.

I would like to say this though, that I think it’s very dangerous that you’re not under a doctors care right now. You obviously had the wrong doctors. I know this can be a frustrating process, but medication can help. True, there are a small percentage of people that are truly medication resistant. But that’s not a label to be used lightly. I’m curious how many doctors actually told you this?

This particular blog worries me because I sense a very low mood behind it. While it’s true, like other readers of yours I see a creative genius in your writing, unfortunately that genius comes at a very high price. I really hope you try to find another doctor. There are a few good ones out there.

Please feel free to email me personally to talk further about your case.

Without going into detail I can say that you’re the one person I trust in times of emergency or things of a delicate nature. Twelve years of friendship and you never once let me down when it counts. Flaked on me a hundred times for dinner? Sure. But I also know that you have my back in serious times.

You know I’ve done my time in the service and you never know anyone until you see them in a life or death scenario. I’ve seen you in that, unfortunately and I’ve told you this in private and now I’ll tell the world: I’d gladly go to war with you. That sums things up.

Sasha please don’t let those haters get you down. You’re so funny and pretty and I love reading your blog. Don’t ever do anything to yourself you can’t take back. My sister killed herself and it haunts me every day of my life. I know she did it because it hurt too much to stay. I’m not mad at her how could I be? I love her and I don’t want her to be in pain. But the fact remains that it’s destroyed my family. The worst part is that she kept saying she was going to kill herself and we stopped taking her so seriously. Then one day, out of the blue she just did it. I’ll never forgive myself for not taking every single time she talked about it as a serious life threatening sign. The fact you still hint about it in your writing scares me for you. I hope you’re ok.

Yo Sash, I know you and I know the girls you are talking about in your other blog. I’m no fan of yours anymore, after the way things went between us. But I’d take you over them any day. They’re the type of women that think they’re shit don’t stink and that no one is worth them spitting on. They are in need of a serious reality check. But karmas a bitch and I’m sure they’ll all get theres in the end. I’ll say this for you Sash, while you maybe a major flake and ditz, you ain’t a bitch. Leave that part to them. They got it down pact.
