Hey all. long time no post.

I'm seeing my pysch on monday and i'm dreading it. When i was 15 something bad happened to me and i've never told anyone about it, but the more i think about it the more i see a significant an effect it has had on my mental health. I don't know how i'm going to bring it up. I've ignored ot for going on 7 years, but the other year i had to face it, as i had to go back to place where it happened as part of my uni course. When i got there i just broke down but couldn't tell anyone what was wrong, and its not something i could tell y parents as it would destroy them. I'm also going to visit day services for the first time with my CPN. Part of me feels as though extra support is good but at the same time i'm reminded that i have gotten worse, not better. My BPD is playing up, my moods are swinging between extremes in a matter of hours. I'm expereincing everything and its too much.

Used to work in a training centre for people with mental health issues and this happens a lot. People often don't discuss the trigger for years and some never discuss it. Might be difficult but getting the information out in the open buy it will help you start to heal. You can decide if you want to take it further, but if someone has done something bad to you they might still be doing that to someone else.

Oh god.

I lost it with my housemate earlier (its been building up for a long time) and the hairdressers downstairs called the police i am not an angry person but i lost it, i went psychotic. I have never been like that before but i ended up screaming in his face. Part of me knows its the BPD but he feels i just use that as an excuse.

Am in a very bad place right now

Does he understand what BPD is at all?

Le sigh:
For the past 2 months, I've had nothing but severe pain in my neck. I was the put on medication, which amongst oher things, causes depression. (eurgh)

Having decided that I'd ad enough of these side effects, I went back and spoke to my GP, who has suggested injections. I am worried sick about this.:(

And to make it worse, I don't know anyone at all who is the same situation as me. I can think of one person who would vaguely undersand; but he's on holiday.

I know it is easier said than done but try not to worry about the injections it is a seconds pain and if it help the pain in your neck it will be well worth it and i am sure it is something they do all the time.

Hi everyone,
seem to be anxious/worrying over every little thing recently. Can't switch my brain off. I have health probs too and went into town today after church and got a bit panicky because I have a taxicard but couldn't find a taxi, but finally hailed one and he took taxicards but got home and read my info leaflet and it said I'm not supposed to hail taxis incase they are not in the scheme. Didn't know this and feel bad but the taxi I took was in the scheme and I was feeling awful and the town was very busy and I was feeling quite unwell and anxious to get home.

Well today has been an "ok" day. Popped out to homebase earlier to get out of the house but ended up feeling really low. I really want to get our bedroom decorated as I still don't feel like it's "our" bedroom cos we haven't decorated it since we moved in over 3 years ago so I think thats what was bothering me. Came back and pottered round the house getting a few things done, though I can't face tackling the mountain of ironing that needs to be done yet.

Visited my grandad yesterday in hospital. He's looking a little better then he did on Friday but he just looks so frail. He won't eat so can't weigh more than 6 stone and it's awful to see him just wasting away. Still don't know when OH has to go to Birmingham for this drug trial either, I'm hoping we'll find out this week. He think's he's starting to feel the effects of these nodules on his lungs, he's coughing up mucus in a morning now which is a worry.

Haven't really told OH how I'm feeling, he's got enough to worry about just now, but it's hard to keep it from him when I'm struggling to do anything at the moment. For some reason I now seem to be taking comfort in shopping for things, I know material possesions aren't the answer but I just want to buy things to cheer myself and my OH up. I'm normally so sensible about money as well but it's my OH who's having to say no to me now.

I just really wish I could run away from all these things at the moment. We're recently engaged and I was looking forward to planning the wedding as we thought he had the all clear, it just feels like everything is on hold and we don't know how long for, I feel so helpless and out of control

Hi losingapatience,

Quiet on here

We had a nice day yesterday with my mum for her birthday.

Our son didn't turn up but he is in the doghouse for handling things in the wrong way. It is his loss. My mum has lost patience with his bad behaviour but how long she will be strong is anyone's guess. She would be daft to let him wheedle his way back and keep up his stupid behaviour. He has crossed the line with her and he crossed the line with us years ago.

I am feeling very stressed as a result of all this upset. You think things are settled, then someone messes it all up.

Have you ever considered moving house?

Having a really bad time at the moment. Everything seems to be getting on top of me & I feel totally exhausted. Had a specially bad day today.

Has anyone had a re-diagnosis before? I've had the same diagnosis for the past 12 years & am wondering if the same diagnosis always has to apply.
