Hey everyone, 

I am a 22y/o M, diagnosed with BPD and OCPD. I have been taking therapy sessions and am on 2 meds (Risperidone, and Clonazepam) , but they are very slow in their working, and I am yet to see the effects of therapy sessions. 

The main problem that I face is, I feel empty, dissociated and racing thoughts most of the times, and it is very painful. My mind has become so chaotic, and painfully slow that I can barely function anymore.

What else can I do to get immediate relief ? I have been dealing with these symptoms since 3 years, and got diagnosed only recently. It is very painful to live with this disorder. I can just not live with this anymore, its a constant battle to live with. 

Mood fluctuations like a rollercoaster. Chronic emptiness. Feeling like I am going crazy. Unstable ideas and beliefs.

&amp;#x200B;

Can I try something on my own. may be do some DBT exercises from a workbook ? read ? anything to come out of this, will be appreciated. I already swim and weight train.

Can anyone help me with a self help plan for BPD ? 

Thanks.
