Sure you can.

Well, the short version is that I have been involved with the mental health team since I was 11 (I'm 21 now) and throughout my teens I was always either really hyper or really suicidal, either loved someone or hated them, self harmed, took my anger out on myself etc. I also had a lot of eating problems from the age of 9. At 17 I was given a CPN and when she wrote my CPA put down that I had "Borderline Personality Traits". I asked her about this and she basically said that I was too young to be diagnosed at that age. Anywho, she discharged me just over a year ago as she was changing jobs. I protested but obviously how I felt didn't matter, or so it felt at the time.
In January this year I went to the doctors about my eating behaviour as it was either sink in my own self destruction or swim with help sort of thing. She referred me to the ED clinic and in June I was diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. I mentioned about what I had been told regarding the BPD thing and the consultant said that she believed that I now did have the full blown disorder as I am old enough to be diagnosed but she cannot diagnose me as it isn't her line of work. So, everyone who's involved in my care believes I have BPD so now I'm just waiting to hear from my doctor about seeing the consultant psychiatrist. It's easier to say I have BPD than to try and explain everything.

Phew. That was the short version. You should have read the long one. :rotfl:

Morning all, hugs :grouphug:


Todays word is: ingrain


verb (also engrain) [with obj.] firmly fix or establish (a habit, belief, or attitude) in a person.

adjective (of a textile) composed of fibres which have been dyed different colours before being woven.

— origin late Middle English (originally as engrain in the sense ‘dye with cochineal or in fast colours’): from en-, in-2 (as an intensifier) + the verb grain. The adjective is from in grain ‘fast-dyed’, from the old use of grain meaning ‘kermes, cochineal’.

I will try and put things in a way you can understand but it might take a little time. So first off is the bad thoughts the worst thing in your life and are these thoughts about yourself. If you dont wish to say here use the pm.

Yes, the 'bad thoughts' are probably the biggest problem. Negative thoughts about me, obsession with self-harm, suicide etc.

I can't get it prescribed either Nice friend hehe

I know what AB means about him not being a friend, but sometimes I need something just to get me through day. Its stopped me doing something stupid a few times. I don't see how I can cope without it sometimes.
