How are you feeling today Nicola? *Hugs*

How are my threadlings today?

[darlkill]

Not great I'm overwhelmed by emotions and I just want to hit out I feel jealous of my 2 year old nephew because when he cries he gets comfort by my parents n his dad

[darlkill]

Ahh, I just want to disappear into thin air now its too much now my social worker messes me around and I can't trust her just want to reject her

I was diagnosed with BPD, but my psychiatrist told me it was because I cut and that was all? I went home and looked it up, and it actually looks pretty accurate to me, however I thought it couldn't be diagnosed to people under 18.

*Glomps Nicola*

I had the police around today again and I have to tell my work some things, that they know about already I melted them in the loop

[Doikers]

*Huggles Nicola*

How's everyone today?

[darlkill]

I lost my job because the police phoned and advised me not to drive school contacts

[Doikers]

Oh I'm so sorry Nicola *Squashes*

[darlkill]

In a way I have learnt its not OK to talk about thoughts that I'm having or to trust people

Hey Everyone- figured it was better to post here then make a new thread (but may still do so).... ANYWAY....
back in 09 i was diagonsed with BPD and put on medication.... Effexor-XR i think. I found it to be very good aside from the side effects. I was also on an anti-psychotic and somethign to help me sleep.
But then due to my own stupidity (or disorder whatever you want to call it) my psychiatrist stopped all my medication just over a year ago. It had been a hard year and ive mostly told him that ive been ok with the odd mentioning of symptoms and behaviors. However i wasnt really ok and still struggled.. in the last month these have increased and im wondering if its worth asking my psych to give me medication again just to reduce/counter whats happening so i can actually deal with the triggers rather then the consequences.

unfortunately though on my medical notes it does say not to give me medication due to OD behaviors... And it was my psych who had that put on my file so im not sure he would even be willing to consider medication again.

Thanks in advance.. Days.

[Doikers]

I understand that Nicola *Hugs*

Hi Days :) *Waves* I'm Mark , could you get a 2nd opinion from another psych?

I could try to but haven't the funds and am under a community mental health team where u get assigned a psych.

[Doikers]

Ah Right , I don't know the MH stuff at all in NZ.. How are you doing?

How are you today Nicola? *Hugs*

How are all the rest of my threadlings? It's gone mighty quiet in here of late... *Leaves out pineapple chunks*

[smallbluething]

*tempted in by the pineapple chunks*

Cheers, Mark.

How are we all? I've been kept away by a dodgy internet connection.

Days - Like Mark, no idea how things work in NZ, but I'd say it's worth a go. If you feel like this is what you need then I think it's important to at least have that conversation, regardless of what the end result may be. He may not consider it, but you never know, and it's always good to have your own opinions heard and discussed. Also *waves*.

I'm a veritable cloud of emotions today... which hasn't been helped by trying to deal with the gas company via e-mail because phonecalls scare me half to death.

Perhaps I'll just sit in here with some pineapple chunks and a cuppa until things settle down.

How is everyone else today?

[Doikers]

Hey Emily , phone calls scare me too , may I Join you in a cuppa?
Booo! To bad internet connections!

[smallbluething]

But of course, I'll get the kettle on and set out some biscuits (lemsip dunking optional).

Having such a horrid night. Want to curl up in a ball with some Monty Python and Black Books and never deal with the world again.

I s'pose the only answer I can come up with to this is to brew another, stronger, cup of tea.

[Doikers]

Thank You Hun , I hope you have a good night :)

[smallbluething]

Thanks :)

I genuinely love this place, it's helped me loads this past few months, in solely the sense of not feeling so bloody alone.

Tea and hugs all round, that's my view :P

[Doikers]

Good lunch time threadlings :) How are we all ?
