Stellar Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hi, I come on here in alternating spells.I suppose i come on more when i am on a destructive low.I have tried to keep any other medical issues separate.It is rather hard to do,especially when posting poems i have written.During a recent down period when on here,self-harm,dissociation etc.It was really hard to not say more about another medical condition.Where does one begin and the other end.Or is it important to include any other medical conditions when posting on here.Or does that over-complicate an already confusing set of psychological problems. I also have parkinsons,diagnosed Nov 2009 aged 45 years.Psychological issues and meds issues from that often mix with my BPD,social anxiety issues and depression.Or are they all as important as each other and relevant here as a whole.It is sometimes hard for me to come on here and separate. Hope this kind of makes sense Take care Stellar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelyheartemma Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I have lots of medical issues and I post about them all. Not usually specifically asking for help with them but mental and physical health do affect each other and affect what you are able to do. So I think it's fine to mention them and there's no need to separate them. I see the site as being about helping individuals. Your medical problems are part of your individuality. You probably won't need to mention every physical problem in every post just as you might not need to mention every mental health problem in every post. But if you want to then that's completely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleheart Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Physical illness has a direct effect on your mood & mental wellbeing. If you are feeling very unwell,it can make you feel extremely negative about life.I know this because it happens to me a lot. The two are inter-twined & so should most definitely be talked about here. I hope the replies you've had will help you to see that it is important to discuss anything that has an effect on your mental health. Keep posting. All the best.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenwing Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have multiple medical issues and would see it as OK to talk about them here. Our physical and mental health impact upon each other. If working through the problems of one helps the other to feel better? Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks, I think i sort of try to blank out the physical.Meds are just automatic.Maybe,when appropriate the physical may be mentioned when compounding the psychological.Feel better about it now.
