Diagnosed with BPD and BP II -- suffer from comorbid self injury (cutting) as well as eating disorders. Been treated in therapy for over 8 months. I've spent time in a psych ward, and had the full work up, getting in touch with board members. The question, is this: recovery. I know that there is no such thing for BPD, so for that, more like up-keeping normality. As those with it are, I am very impatient and impulsive. I've contemplated suicide on and off (before hospitalization, and now after). I'm doing all the outpatient work, but I'm falling down and find it slightly scary. The self injury has been getting worse in damage, (frequency the same).. and really, don't feel like living (though no plans have been made; just a continual feeling).
What are some options of recovery I haven't checked into? How can I get this under control? I feel ridiculous about going to the ER, because there is really nothing life threatening. I just don't know what step to take; i'm clawing each day
