I'm diagnosed with Residual Schizophrenia and BPD. I'm really f*****g depressed now, and I'm really too scared to think it's the 'Flat affect' of Schizophrenia, even though I never had any of the symptoms. Sigh.

I have BPD too, with hallucinations, but not Schizophrenia. My condition is very well controlled by Lithium, Abilify, and Vyvanse (although it took nearly ten years to find the right combination).

Do you take meds?

No, because I don't have hallucinations or meltdowns. Maybe I need to change meds, as the previous ones did not help me to function. But what I'm suffering from is that I get depressed in my thoughts - even severely - when I'm tired, but I try not to sleep too early in order to have a normal sleep cycle. I'll probably update when I get a new doctor.
