I just got diagnosed with BPD, Bipolar 2, OCD, and PTSD. I have the DBT workbook that has actually been really helpful (radical acceptance included) and for Bipolar 2 she wants to test out Seroquel to start with. As someone who has had an eating disorder, I’m really struggling with the potential side effect of weight gain and as someone with no emotional permanence, I’m also struggling with the fear of starting a medication and having it ruin my life. What if it doesn’t work? What if I’m fine and it makes my life hell? 

Does anyone have words of comfort that are also on seroquel? 😭😭
