So after starting counseling and seeing a psychiatrist, I have finally received a diagnosis of BPD, co-morbid with depression. 

I keep bouncing between being relieved that there really IS something "wrong" (note: there is nothing wrong with BPD) with me and being absolutely devastated that I'm not "normal" (what is normal, anyway?). The ups and downs I experience every day are just too much, along with everything else that I experience. In the past when I've tried to talk to friends and family about it, they just said I'm overreacting and everybody feels this way and I need to get over it. Now I finally know that NO, not everybody feels this way.

The psychiatrist has prescribed Abilify to reduce the anger I have and help stabilize the daily ups and downs. Has anyone else used this before? Was it helpful? I know everyone reacts differently to medications, but I'm just looking for a general idea.
