Title: Hi...it’s been awhile Post by: Micky on May 26, 2019, 02:29:24 PM Hi,
I had an account here a few years ago. I cannot remember my username and password so I have had to re-register. So...I came on due to a disastrous marriage. My husband was diagnosed BPD in 2015 and in 2016 started a 2.5 years of intensive therapy for this. I don’t need to list the things he did or said. I. Sure most of you can imagine. Things were so bad. He was addicted to morphine prescribed for a bad back. I mean I was thinking of divorcing him. I came here to get help but would always feel so emotional seeing all the issues others were having in their lives and I wondered how anything could end up being positive for us. It was a real bad time and I don’t know how I got through it... it turned me into a burned out uncompassionate person... I was a shadow of myself. So here is what has happened in the last 2 years. I got some professional counselling via my GP... ended up doing 9 months of weekly counselling. My husband just completed his therapy 8 weeks ago and i am hugely proud of what he has achieved. We have not had any drama in our household for 1.5 years. Our communication is better than ever. He can be tested in 5 years for BPD and then have it taken off his medical records. He has also been asked to be a part of the programme where he can mentor others going through the same therapy. We had a huge upset 8 weeks ago when I had a miscarriage and my main concern was how he would react... but I needn’t have as he was my tower of strength and never left my side. A lot of his anger issues are gone. I haven’t heard him raise his voice in a good 2 years. So I just wanted to drop by and update. I think about this place often and when I first came here I was so angry and wasn’t in the right place to receive suggestions. So I’m sorry for just leaving. But this was the start of my journey and I just wanted to acknowledge that. Xx Title: Re: Hi...it’s been awhile Post by: No-One on May 26, 2019, 06:33:40 PM Congrats! That's wonderful news! Did your husband have therapy only, or did he receive some antidepressants or other psychotropic drugs?
