RedRadish Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi there, I am a 24 year old female from the deepest depths of Sussex. After 2 suicide attempts in the last 6 months and some therapy I have been diagnosed with BPD or 'Emotional intensity disorder'. Unusually (I am told) I have great medical support but lack social support from family and friends. I am at a bit of a Crisis point in my life, I am not sure where to turn which avenues to pursue or indeed how to move forward. I am sure I will 'off load' in a more appropriate post.

RedRadish Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Its alright, regular and on hand whenever I've needed it. I am currently in the care of the community mental health team and the crisis team from the psyc hospital. I am enrolled on a STEPS program so would also be in interested in hearing from anyone who has been part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peazay Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hey :-) I'm 27/F and live in London. I have depression and BPD. I stayed on a psychiatric ward last summer after self harming/attempting suicide. I made a friend on the ward who is 23 and has BPD also, so you're definitely not alone in this!!! Welcome!
