jammycrackers Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hi all, ive been looking for a site like this and so glad i found u all!! Ive been reading the forums for a few days and feel i kno some of u already (hence ive added a few of u as friends...hope thats ok? :-)) Im 38, married with 3 kids (20,19 and 14) and have slipped discs in my spine which has left me disabled and in agony-i also have MH problems stemming from my abusive childhood, and was diagnosed and subsequently ignored 18 months ago with depression and BPD. Desperate to make new friends who understand...im a good listener too. Unsure if which topics would suit me best, any advice greatly received- so off to have a look. I spend alot of time sleeping, and im at the start of a bad episode ive felt building for a while, so hoping ill get support and understanding from some new friends and it wont b as bad as coping alone. Wishing u all a pain-free day, please msg bk or add me as a friend if ud like. Much love xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyP Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 im fine thanks hun hope your feeling okay. thats really bad that theyv just left you, can you see your gp an ask for a referal to a new therapist or a psych? seems like this time of years really hard for you, hope this one goes better than the last. must say my moods get a lot worse around this time of year, think they do for a lot of people. well theres different sections which are good for different things. sections like crisis point and bad day/night are good for talking about triggering topics when your feeling really bad/sui and getting support through it. personality disorder focuses on bpd aspects so if its related to that you can post there. treatment is like asking for advice on meds or different services. personally i find i use crisis, general and personality disorder the most. but you use whatever you want to hun just post whatever you feel an we'll try an help as much as we can xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roses Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey Jammy - what a wonderful name! I'm so sorry you have problems with your back. I've had teen onset scoliosis all my life and kyphosis in neck and lower spine too. Just been diagnosed with ostenosis and recently had major back surgery (9 pins and 3 screws) so I understand. Do you have regular physio / exercises or is it beyond that? I was told to go swimming. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammycrackers Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Wow roses, u sound like you've been through the mill! How do u cope with such physical pain added to ur MH probs? My ortho surgeon has refused the fusion op I was waiting for...he isn't prepared to take the risk re paralysis. I hav 3 slipped L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1. Nerves are trapped giving me sciatica and numbness below the knee left side and I suffer from occasional puddling. I don't think that has helped with my MH at all-I was hoping to get fused n return to work. Now I feel I hav one slipping in my neck. Eek. However, this is NOTHING compared to u-Wat caused urs? I have to say, the responses I've had on here just today hav been so amazing. I really am lifted knowing I'm not alone anymore. I just hope I can help someone somewhere too.

jammycrackers Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Oh, not allowed swimming-tried Physio but too painful and no support from any professionals.

jammycrackers Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 FAO pandora:- Unable to send u a PM? Thank you for your reply earlier and sorry I didn't get chance to reply-I'm overwhelmed with the support of you who took ur time to welcome me. I look forward to building friendships and sharing our journeys. I'm struggling alot lately with my BPD...for the first time ever Iv considered SH as I've heard it frees some pain. Is that usual? I'm 38 and was physically abused by my dad and neglected by my mum. I hav led a complex life in 38 years n I just want this illness to go away. Maybe SH wud help by relieving? Can you tell me a bit about u as I feel I've been very me, me, me today....dnt like to be selfish and narcissistic.

pepsimeg Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hey jammy dodger ;-) your not selfish u have been very compatiinate to me and others cinsidering.we only just met. Thanks for chatting wiv me. Btw i would try to distract from s.h cos yeah it relieves a bit but is only a temporary relief so can get out of hand and b very dangerous and addictive.

jammycrackers Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wow! My topic has gone 'HOT'...its even in orange writing. Lol Can anyone tell me, you know on profiles-on the right hand side theres a green box with a figure in it, and a word like a rating:- good, excellent? What does it mean? I tried clicking it but nothing happened. Please dont think im silly but ive looked everywhere i can think of for the answer in the hope id find it myself, dance a little celebratory shuffle, and thatd b that. To no avail. Im still pondering and thought id come cap in hand to my online friends and ask. Even if u giggle at me, i will forgive u, and maybe id give u a lil smile at my ineptitude. Im rambling again :-) anyone help a jammy in need? Xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsmother21 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Wow! My topic has gone 'HOT'...its even in orange writing. Lol Awww bless you, you do make me smile Can anyone tell me, you know on profiles-on the right hand side theres a green box with a figure in it, and a word like a rating:- good, excellent? This is your reputation box - when someone likes a post that you have written or answered one in a particularly helpful way then people can click the like button on your post which is on the right hand side and it also tells you who has liked the post. Clicking on the box won't do anything and I won't giggle at you but like I said you do make me smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsmother21 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 And why r u a mini mod? How tall are u? Nice fashion sense (y) xx As you've probably noticed there are other mini mods on the site, our names are in orange. We are here to make sure that no spam is posted on the site and that the Terms of Use for the site are adhered to and that something is done if someone does break the rules but anything that we do then goes to a Moderator - their names are in burgundy and they have the last say on what should be done about something that we report. It's quite ironic that I am called a mini mod because I am 5' 10' so I should be called a tall mod and my fashion sense isn't too bad You silly sausage, you are really cheering me up this morning xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammycrackers Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 There should b a dislike option! Do we win anything for good points? Like discounts or vouchers?
