Alliecat Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've just joined and am making progress in the BPD roller coaster, am slowly improving (well, I hope) and know the hard struggles it entails. Thought I'd say 'Hello' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alliecat Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've been getting more better days lately so cross fingers I'm putting into practice skills I've picked up here and there from stuff I've learnt, mainly from good books and keeping myself positive and in check etc...diary sheets to see how I'm doing if it starts to look bleak again. Mindfulness and being kind when things start up again. Doesn't always work, but takes practice. Lots of it too.its not plain sailing by any means . At times. Mental Health haven't a clue, said I was too bad for them to help and I was a high risk so discharged me. They really haven't got a clue in my area! when I'm fully better I would love to get training and specialise in BPD because they are the most challenging but can be the most rewarding in the end. If they were to see me now they wouldn't see the same person from back in May when they made their pathetic excuses and departed. I have tenacity! I love your quotes above - they are very inspiring!

GingerSnapped Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 You were badly off and high risk, so they discharged you?! Geez. You sound like a strong person. Glad to hear you're doing well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alliecat Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Yep. It's that bad...even wrote it in a letter which will go against them! But after the initial shock (in May) which has only just ended and taken that long to calm down from it all, I'm beginning to see how useless and uncaring and inexperienced they actually had been and they were not doing me any good at all. I have taken so many overdoses and ended up unconscious and they have refused to see me in hospital afterwards, discharged as soon as my eyes opened and I went straight out to the motorway bridge and god knows how I didn't jump off as was on the wrong side in the middle. Police got called, hauled back over, on a sec 136 taken for assessment, then sent home in a taxi? Caring bunch! But thankfully haven't done that for three weeks which is very good going! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
