Hi Shrink, i think Mari is right, perhaps try and think before you text, if this is too much (as i once found it) remove their numbers from your phone, write them down this might give you time to think should i send this text. Perhaps write a diary or keep a journal on here to try and have a place to rant until the app with the pysch.
Mari i am well not too bad, had time to calm down after wanting to cry or shout at my brother. Its his bday and he has been drinking so when his mate came round he thought it would be funny to destroy the puzzle i was working on and his only comment was "well we did a better job than you you've hardly done anything anyway".
Just seems he has no respect for anything about me or my stuff, i really do hate living with him, everytime i think i'll be nice (like this morning coz its his bday) he does something like this.
Claire i would try and have a word with your brother saying its not acceptable and how would he like it if you deleted the saves on a game he had been playing.

Hi, erm, I've not read much of this thread and I know I should have done but to post about this is quite overwhelming for me. The medical professionals say that I have BPD and I am really struggling with that possibility because it's giving me a lot more negative things to throw at myself. Also, it's hard because it's never been mentioned with me before and the person who suggested it has only seen me twice. I can't get DBT because there is no coverage of my area and the waiting lists are too extensive considering I'm in a time frame. I'm just scared of this label, I think.
I know I'm supposed to support people and I do try but I really don't feel in the right place for that right now, I'm sorry.
Also, to go back to your first post, I completley get where you are coming from, because the exact same happened to me. Although I was told it was a possibility after my first meeting with my CMHT, they decided it was the current diagnosis after my second appointment. I personally found it a bit odd given that I have known it take ages for others to be diagnosed with BPD.
so last time i saw my psych doc... she said no meds for me. At first i was like yay thats great she thinks im not that bad

. I didnt say this to her or even ask why she thinks i shouldn't have them nut i kinda feel like i need something even just to help on the bad moments and with impulses. Im seeing her agin this coming week.... should i push meds?
Also have any of you heard of or done energy psychology.. it had tapping points on ur body and stuff.
The BRAVEST thing
I ever did was CONTINUING MY LIFE when I wanted to die.
hi guys sorry i havent got the brain space to reply im bit all over the place a lady who i was in hospital with over xmas who was sooo kind and supportive hung herself on the ward the otherday and i just found out last night..... how can that happen in there they r suppose to keep her safe
Oh Cheryl (?), I'm really sorry to hear that. Sending you many hugs. It's absolutely horrific - I have experienced similar but obviously not exactly the same. I am here if you need to talk.

I've done Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) which involves tapping various points on your body (head, face, side, collar bone...). I've only had one session and have another on Saturday and found it incredibly intense but quite helpful. For me, I'd have been very self-conscious about doing it but I knew the practioner so that made things easier. You don't have to say anything that you're thinking about but memories-wise, it feels very real and I found it useful but difficult, though I suppose it was going to be because the past is a tough place for me.
I'd recommend giving it a go, though!
Cheryl (?), that sounds really difficult. Please look after yourself. Have you got anyone that you might be able to talk to?
Katy, yeah, this guy is trying to diagnose me after two appointments. My GP doesn't want me diagnosed with BPD though and we discussed the cons of it at my appointment today. What's happened now? Have you been diagnosed?
Also, my doctor hasn't heard of DBT... apparently few people have. She said that if it might help, she'd try to sneak me into the treatment place, even though I'm out of area.

If im honest i hate that kind of attitude from people, i dont see what the point of getting help its if your not going to be honest and get the help in the first place. Whats the point asking for meds if you are only wanting them to overdose on?
Hi belle and welcome

Hey everyone.
Sorry, I'm not really up for giving support right now, otherwise I would.
Not having a good time. I won't take up thread space though. Just thought I'd check in.
Shine ~ I hope your Doctor can get you some DBT if it is felt helpful for you. I'm surprised she hasn't heard of it! I thought in the NICE guidelines it was standard care for those diagnosed with BPD. I guess it just takes time though for everyone to hear these things. Hope you can get it though <3 When I did DBT, I didn't think it was helpful but I've realised now a few years along the line that I use the techniques subconsciously.
Days Gone Bye - I'm sorry you feel so bad that you would use your medication to overdose, rather than to help yourself. It must be a difficult place to be. Perhaps that is why your psych didn't prescribe it for you?
Lorraine - I am sorry you are not feeling too good at the moment. Would it be helpful for you to make your own thread in one of the forums such as serious/self injury/MH. People want to help and I appreciate you don't want to post here but there are other places on the board. Alternatively, you could e-mail the supporters.

I am not feeling too good. I am about to head home though which is a long journey, well it feels really long. Just over 3 hours on the train. See you on the other side!
