Someone here might no more but there are legal aftercare requirements if you have been held under a section 3- I think it's section 17 of the MHA or something. I'm not sure what you are entitled to but maybe you could google, check the Mind website or something?
"Everything is possible through Christ, who gives me strength". Phillipians 4:13
Hmm, seems a bit dodgy that they did that, farawayfairy. Also, I don't know what is a priority case if it's not being discharged from a section 3. I'd definitely find out more if you can. By the way, it's lovely to have you back, sweetie.
Hollz, I'm glad to hear there was no lasting damage but sorry that you felt you had to OD. Hope your meeting with your CPN goes okay.
Mari, please know at least that people here on RYL do care. I suppose people in the outside get wrapped up in their own lives and struggle to see others' pain.
Carrie, you're not a failure for cutting. You tried really hard and did really well. Things happen and all we can do is pick ourselves up and carry on. I'm hoping tomorrow will help you talk about some of these things and understand them.
I'm putting all my anger into the doctor at A&E for stitching my cut badly. The anger feels a bit disproportionate though. But I am so angry tonight.
I've just sent an email to the advocacy service at the hospital to find out whether I should be on a section 117 or seen by the CMHT. Yeah I'm not sure what counts as a priority case either. To be honest it makes me feel like I don't count but whatever.
Could you maybe have a bath or something to try and calm down Laura? Something else I find helpful when I'm angry is writing stuff down on a big piece of paper and then ripping it up.
I wish they had kept me in hospital, just so I could of had that anti sickness drug, hatever it is that the put through your drip...instead im throwing my guts up, tried eating something but maybe i was a bad idea
nightly meds and bed me thinks, so i can try and ride this out
****
Mari - You know we are all here, and we care and are here 24/7, but I woud chase up the support with your gp x
Carri - your not a failure and you did really well today, stick in there petal
Laura - make sure you take all the anger out constructively and don't do yourself no more harm
farawayfairy (soz dnt know your name) - I hope that you manage to get the extra support you need, now that your out of hospital x

Reason: me stupid x
Something has changed within me, something is not the same, I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game. Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep, its time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap....
Somethings I cannot change, but till I try I'll never know...

Big hugs to all my friends on here, thanks for your constant support - love you guys
Well you do count, hun. To us. But that's not enough, you need to be taken seriously by the professionals around you. I'm glad you've spoken with the advocacy. Also try PALS because they're pretty good (sorry I sound like a broken record re: PALS, I just do think they're generally good).
I think I'll try those suggestions in a little while, thank you.
Me too, quetiapine taken just, was nearly thrwing it up as well.
I'm off to bed, will speak to you all in the morning xxx

whirlpools in reply to my post on page 210...I don't know if there are any voluntary councilling centres or anything like that here in Galway.
I guess a period of recession and the fact that so many cuts are being made in the HSE is the worst time to look for help.
I've never received treatment for my BPD...and I have a very patient bf who I live with.
My parents just ignore the fact that I was diagnosed.
With that and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)
Darren doesn't know this but for ages now...I've just felt so lost.
Idk what I'm doing anymore.
There is no bad time to look for help - sometimes it just takes some creativity. It might be hard to get help from the NHS but it is worth trying anyway - even if only for you to validate your own needs and importance, which is essential. I'd recommend going to your GP and seeing if s/he knows of any voluntary services around, or if there's anything else that can be offered.
I'm glad your boyfriend is supportive. What do you think you would want from your parents?
Have a good nights sleep Hollz.
I'm here if you wanna talk Hellz.
I don't know what is going on in my head but it's a mess. I've not been myself at all. I od'ed over the weekend and now i'm fighting to not cut myself, i've not done it seens the day of chris's funeral because i promised myself that day that he wouldn't want that and he would kill me if he was here and i done it. I hate feeling like this. I'm so alone i don't have a psych or anything.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB
I talked to my bf last night and it turns out there are no voluntary councilling groups here in Galway but there are two in Dublin.
That's how bad the services are here in Ireland.
As Darren said last night...we're still in the age of phoning in for help as people are too ashamed to be seen.
Plus no one can afford to set up a service.
The only thing we have here in Galway is The Samaritans.
What would I want from my parents?
Well my Mum is the one who acknowledged I had a problem with SI..I want them both to acknowledge that I was diagnosed with BPD.
Because they seemed to have brushed it under the carpet or something.
We haven't talked about it since I was 19....nearly 4 years ago.
Daniella don't give in...you know the feeling of relief doesn't last long and then it just makes you feel worse.
*hugs*
I have the doctors tomrrow because i need to ask about going on the pill, although im really unsure if i can get it because i know one of my meds affects it and it can affect it. And since its the only med that really works there is no way im coming off it
"Its not how long a star shines, what is remembered is the brightness of the light"
im on lamotragine so i know it can mess it up, i guess i just have to see what the doc says, i just find this whole relationship stuff bleh with the whole contreception thing.
Im feeling better today, had a nice long sleep which i needed.
"Its not how long a star shines, what is remembered is the brightness of the light"
I'm glad that you're feeling better! I wish i felt better after a sleep! The doc may even be able to offer an alternative to the pill. I believe there are other options available.
Thats me just up, 17 hours in bed hmmmm I am so lazy you know.
Going to see my CPN at 3, have a few missed calls from her (not phoning back) either there is a problem with the app today, or she she has found out about yesterday which going by her voicemail seems most likely
Hope everyone is doing good today, will post back once and if I get back from my appointment :)
