In SRS BSNS news, Jodie has been moved to a crisis house. This is kinda worrying, since she has an awful lot more freedom to engage in ALL the behaviours, but it does seem like a nice place, and I'm hoping she'll get on well with her key workers, and be able to work with them to develop strategies to keep herself safe. In many ways, Jodie has been super-brave today, and once again I am a very proud best friend/over-protective stalker :p
Thanks for the update, Jenna.
I hope the crisis house folks can help you, Jodie. I know it's tough, so keep holding on in there. It's awesome that you're being so brave with these really tough things. And remember that it's natural to feel vulnerable. Just keep reaching out.
And happy birthday again! I said it in the other thread but I thought I'd say it again. We are actually really close in age - mines on Friday but I'll be 20 instead of 21. /pointless fact
But yes I hope that this change helps you and it's good that you are at least out of the hospital setting but still getting support. Much love and hugs
Hope the crisis house helps love and I hope you can find the strength in yourself to take this new freedom and use it constructively. I have faith in you, even when you have none.

Sorry I haven't been to visit. The last week at uni has been mad so I have had no free time. I'm also not going to get any free time this week as I have birthdays and stuff that have been planned around me going into hospital next monday.
I am really sorry but it's good to hear your doing better. Stay strong and keep fighting.
Sorry again.

The world is just illusion always trying to change me.

I really hope thcrisis house helps you, and helps you develop new strategies for coping that maybe weren't worked on so well in hospital by the staff there.

Jodie appears to be doing NONE of the replying o_O
I can confirm with joy that she is alive and doing fairly well, given the circumstances. She is going to be seeing the counsellor from the crisis house once a week until her next appointment with Personality Disorders at the beginning of August, when they will be deciding what to do. She also has access to the crisis team if she feels she needs it.
She claims to be feeling more positive about life, and appears chirpy enough to be contemplating ways of avoiding her care-coordinator, who anecdotally was wearing a rather nice dress the other day when we saw her.
I'm sure she appreciates ALL the nice messages, and I shall frown at her for being too lazy to reply to this thread :-/
Thanks for letting us know Jenna. <3
I'm glad it seems Jodie is getting some support and hope they will come up with something helpful at that appointment.
