Absent medical condition

I was updating my profile (although it still says only 90% conplete) and under medical conditions there is nothing under Personality Disorder. I have EUPD and would rather list that than the associated depression and anxiety. I am sure there must be others who have a PD who would like to be able to list it.

Hi, yes you're right there doesn't seem to be a category for it but if you type it on a "search" you will see others who have posted on this issue. Sometimes in the past it was called borderline personality disorder. Now they seem to like to call it emotionally unstable personality disorder :) x Same thing though

They also refer to it as EID. Whatever they want to label it it would be nice to have the catagory for it so we can support each other x

Ah yes, I just looked that up as never heard of that before. At first I got loads of info about a muslim festival :) but when I typed in psychology afterwards it came up with it. Yes never heard of that other name before. It does destigmatise it a bit I think which is important for sufferers

I couldn't find a way to log my non-medication treatments for my illnesses. I have done a lot with regards CBT, breathing exercises and meditation which have helped me but can't seemed to log this treatments.

I too have had CBT and other psychology input. It isn't all tablets (although they do help) and it would be nice to be able to show this x

Glad you agree. My GP explained that the medication was to help settle my mind and allow me to rest so that I could take in and think clearly about the other treatments that were available. Although getting some of the other treatments like CBT and counselling and workshops is not easy and there were long waiting lists. Just glad I had the strength to fight to get the extra help, though.
