I am have both BPD and Bipolar II. Diagnosed bipolar in my late teens. Diagnosed BPD recently. I have been on and off different meds for Bipolar for nearly 7 years without success. I tried therapy for yeara without success but psychiatric care in India sucks balls. I cant stess how useless the psychiatrists and therapists here are.

I have through self awareness and combination of self therapeutic techniques reduced the intensity of the bipolar swings so that they are more or less manageable now.

I am determined to control BPT using DBT. But without medication. Has anybody done it before? Keep in mind that I'll probably be paying out of my pocket for therapy and might have to go months without sessions cuz I don't make enough.
