Looking for help.

I was wondering if any of you have/had experienced depression along side BPD?

My boyfriend commented on how i just sleep a lot which irritated me a little bit and my mood swings. I have that problem with feelings of emptiness so it doesn't entirely help my situation either. I've noticed my sleeping a lot, irritability, mood swings, increased and decreased appetite, some trouble with sexual intercourse such as lack of libido and i have not had any suicidal tendencies or thoughts but i feel i'm in a slump i can't pull myself out from.

Any advice?

I would suggest cardio to perk you up. Brisk walking for 20min three times a week, can you manage that? Try it for a week and I guarantee that your mood will improve.

I wanted to write "Of course!" Depression is the part of BPD that I actually hate the most..actually it is the distorted image I have of others and myself from time to time..

Your boyfriend said you slept a lot but I am glad that you wrote "My boyfriend" because it means he is still there even though he's noticing your sleeping patterns and what not..I'm not sure what you are into and you probably have a lack of will to do anything and find nothing fun during these times...So what I was going to suggest was doing something you like..

Something that really helps me, is watching movies I can relate to. This could be a trigger for some but you did say you weren't having any suicidal thoughts. I watch this movie called After Jimmy on Lifetime and it works wonders. I think acting along with movies that reflect your current mood is very therapeutic but I'm no doctor so what do I know? I just know it helps for the time being to let some of the emptiness out or to get out frustrations.

I can manage cardio, i am always out and about but i just fall asleep at times and it's just strange but i will try the movie thing too.
Thank you
