Hi guys so i'm really struggling at the moment. I was thinking it would be nice to make a group chat with whoever wants to join, i've seen some purely for either a breakup or specific things but never a general BPD one. So whether you are going to through a breakup, having a rough time with work or anything in general, maybe a lil community to be able to message whenever need be could help?

Let me know what you all think and if you'd want to join!

Hi all! So I know we aren't all doctors here. I did reach out to my psychiatrist of course first about this but I just got curious in the meantime if anyone here has been on the same medication as me and have experienced the same thing

I was put back on Quetiapine 25mg a week ago. I used to be on it a few years back and was taking 150mg. This past week I wake very nauseous, quite dizzy and my body temperature seems to lower too so I will be quite shivery. I don't remember any of these side effects previously when taking this med at all, and it's just making me
of course a bit panicky and nervous. Dunno why!

For a few days before I started it my head also feels a bit strange. Like in my brain (I have history of Cerebral Venous Cinus Thrombosis) and so any sensation that isn't normal in my head I overly panic about. It's almost like.. pressure in my head and i've just been noticing it a bit more. There's no pain or anything more severe happening but you know, all we want is a bit of reassurance since anxiety makes us believe we have the worst illness in the world 😂

Will this ever go away? The fight or flight. The constant nausea, lightheadedness, hot flushes just because the road or building is getting busier. Feeling like you will throw up if you know you have an appointment or have to leave the house. Unable to have friends or family to your house because you always need to lie down when the bad symptoms come cause it eases it but you don't want to be rude and antisocial. Avoiding any situation that will bring on the symptoms. Having your heart beat so rapidly all day every day? Does any of it actually ease... Do you need meds when it's so severe? Do you just push through? It just doesn't make sense to me that you have to force yourself into these things to feel the anxiety to "over come" it.. I don't know I just feel like it's been 2 years already and it's going to be many more and i'll never be able to do anything normally again or even work a job or travel. I couldn't think of anything worse than being on a plane like this at the moment! Does it get better??
