I just wanted to say I'm so sorry to the people I haven't really mentioned or spoken to I am awful with names and have the memory of a sieve so after reading 2/3 pages of the thread I rarely remember half of what i read.
in that case i would maybe have a word with your manager (or whoever) and just say you are having some MH problems atm and that because you are getting help with it you may need time off for appointments.
This. BPD isn't exactly the most attractive MH problem to employers, and you said before that it was only an initial suggestion, so I wouldn't declare it unless it was confirmed by a PD specialist.
*waves to thread*
Rowie, I'm so sorry that things are so bad for you at the moment. I hope you manage to sort things with T, and feel free to PM me or something if you need to talk about anything.
I've got my second assessment with PD services on Thursday, just got the appointment letter. Need to assure them that the ED and self-harm is under control or they won't let me have MBT =S
I just don't want them to not take me, because sending me to ED services would just make me worse, I know it. Woe.
Cripes, just remembered I've got to go get a blood test (part of ED checks?)- the doctor gave me the forms, and apparently I just have to stroll into my local hospital and they have a drop-in blood test thing.
Jodie, I'm glad you have a referral :) I'm not sure if yours will be the same as mine, but I know for the first appointment it was all the standard stuff that you've probably been asked a hundred times before, just taking histories, asking about le self harm etc.
Anyway ummm... oh PD assessments are usually in my experience initial histories and then the SCIDD ii form at some point which is just the assessment for totting up which (if any) PD you may have.
Reminds me when i was in with my ankle, they never bothered reading my notes i think and were meant to watch me take morphine, but often didnt bother (so if i wanted i could stock up, prob wouldnt have done anything anyway if i did). But i could also get razors with no questions asked.
But the women across the bed from me made a whole song and dance telling everyone how she had depression and that and how she used to self harm so when she got a razor she kept saying ohh they should be watching me so i dont do anything. I kept quiet, i decided it wouldnt be fun having someone watch me shave my leg.

Well the issue is the Tickets Have my Name on so I "think" The person buying them would have to have my name too , and it's all e-tickets too , I haven't received any actual paper copies :/

I think I've missed something, so not quite sure why you can't use your tickets, but sorry to hear that anyway! Good luck trying to sell them; it's so infuriating that you can't get your money back :(
