I'm sure no one meant it as a personal attack Katie <3
Do you think it might help to come up with some more coping strategies with staff to help ready you for discharge?

♥It's the ups and downs of living life this way. Promise me you'll never go away. Just stay with me through one more night because it's always darkest before the light and now I promise you I'll never turn away. I won't let you give us one less heart to break...♥
Definitely not a personal attack. Just a misinterpretation.
I suppose it's just worrying that you go to hospital a lot and then self harm anyway and not really wanting to be discharged. I suppose I'm just struggling to understand that because of my current situation, but I know everyone's different
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
I'm very upset. It's feels like an attack. Although I know that's probably me being bpd or whatever. I just an attention seeking whore. I get that. But I am trying. It's hard work. I am trying. I doubt any of you believe that. Which is fair enough. Probably shouldn't even be posting.

ah, I see! Perhaps when you are discharged from this hospital they could write you up some PRN that you would be able to take yourself when you're struggling, and maybe give some to the staff at the supported housing so that they could also give it to you if at times you don't have the insight to try taking it yourself? Or does it not work like that?
We all have moments things get to us when we're already feeling emotions/fragile. I hope you can just see people here want to help you and for you to feel better.

Sorry. Nice patient gave me a hug while I cried. I do appreciate the input just find criticism and people thinking I'm lying hard.
Where did anyone say you were lying? I'm not being picky or argumentative, just think that trying to find evidence that people said that (which I don't think you will!) might help challenge the (possibly BPD) thoughts that people are attacking you.
That's weird about the PRN. What PRN do you find helpful? Perhaps your GP, the crisis team or your community psych team could prescribe it? It's pretty normal for PRN to be prescribed in an outpatient setting, so I'm sure they'll be someone who can and will prescribe it for you!
Not sure what the deal is with prn. Get lorazepam and zopiclone ip and both very helpful. My old gp who I had for 4 years wouldn't prescribe any for me. I don't really know why. On the discharge sheet they always say to discontinue prn meds. I'll ask my op gp when I next see her. It would be really helpful.
I didn't see anyone attacking you or accusing you of lying. If you could learn to accept what people say at face value, you'd probably be a great deal happier.
I don't mean this as an attack, but personally I feel that you could benefit from being completely honest with yourself about what your motives are for acting in certain ways. Because sometimes the things you do and the things you say about them don't seem to quite match up with what you say your reasons are. It's easier to change when you're being honest with yourself. Like I said, I don't mean that as an attack, and I do hope you're looking after yourself.
"I know you're sad, so I won't tell you to have a good day. Instead, I advise you to simply have a day.
Stay alive, feed yourself well, wear comfortable clothes, and don't give up on yourself just yet.
It'll get better. Until then, have a day."

Had review. Everyone was nice. Sections been dropped and I have leave. I'm getting discharged back to Brigid on Friday. We talked about grounding techniques and doing some voluntary work or something. They seemed happy with me, from what I can tell. I have an appointment with an ot this afternoon.
Session with OT went well thanks. I'm feeling really rough today. Was a bit of an idiot last night. Feeling the affects today. And my stitches have come undone so I have to go back to a&e. Not through any fault of my own. Made friends with a couple of other patients which has been nice. And i think I've lost some weight which makes me feel a bit safer.
