How to regain emotional resilience?

Hi guys,

I have borderline personality disorder (BPD) -- my main problem being very intense dysphoria all the time even without external stimulus. I am on sertraline 200 mg to stop depression but it doesn't work to stop my suicidal thoughts at the slightest amount of stress.

It seems as time has gone by in life, cumulative stress has obviously increased, and my tolerance to stress has DEcreased proportionally to that. I hope this makes sense. Now, it has come to a point where I can't seem to tolerate the slightest difficulty/obstacle/negativity in life without the pain being so great that I want to die... I am hypersensitive to everything negative, particularly rejection, and I have no idea how to 'wipe the slate clean' and get the emotional tolerance I had when I was, say, 10 years old.


What is the best type of therapy for this and can this problem actually be fixed? It seems more biological (automatic) than anything... almost like random seizures of negativity. Does anyone have any experience of increasing emotional tolerance?

Thanks.
James
