My depression/anxiety is really only amplified if i’m in a relationship but mellow/non-existent when im not. I’m debating whether I go on meds bc it doesn’t affect me all the time but I would love to date without it being a problem

100% see a therapist and discuss this

Yeah. This sounds like my BPD. I can’t remember the exact stat but something like 80% of BPD symptoms only surface when dealing with relationships

Also if it is BPD (not saying it is necessarily), meds won’t really help. So a therapist or psychiatrist is def recommended

I saw a psychiatrist and she prescribed me zoloft but i’m scared to actually take it. I just hate being irritated all the time, like I literally can’t go out with my friends bc if someone pushes me I’ll get so mad to the point I have to go home. I had such an unnecessary anxiety attack over introducing my bf to my family you would think I was bringing him to be executed. Like my moods are so dramatic sometimes but then i feel happy and motivated and im like okay maybe i was just overreacting 😭

Believe me I am not one to diagnose someone as a non-professional but girl that is EXACTLY what I went through before getting diagnosed and treated 😭 it was such a miserable existence. Zoloft helped to a point (mostly just to sedate me) but overall the best treatment was rewiring how I think and react to situations, and how I regulate my emotions.

How do u regulate them tho? Bc like I’ve found that the same exact situations can make me mad one day and then the next time they won’t affect me so like it’s so unpredictable until i’m already in the moment
