  • Hi guys, so sorry I've not been in touch, things are pretty awful right now, and I couldn't face writing down how bad I am... I still don't have another date for surgery, it's been hanging over me for so long, I feel so anxious, stressed and depressed all the time. The BPD day centre with all the therapy, that I was on the waiting list for has closed their waiting list indefinitely.. I was hanging on by a thread for that.. The mental health team that has blocked me from getting help for the last 4 years had the referral from my GP to this centre for 8 months and they blocked me and now I can't get to go there.. I really needed a safe place to go to get out of climbing up the walls alone in my flat all time.. To top it all, my best female friend cut contact with me 3 weeks ago because I was clinging to her, and because I am falling to pieces and she can't handle me any more.. I miss her so much, .. We spoke on the phone every day for an hour. In 23 years, she has only cut contact once.. 10 years ago during my last breakdown, and that was for almost 2 years.
    I can't go on much longer like this , the only thing good are my cats,. I hope you guys are ok. Love, Faerie x
    Many thanks to all who contribute on MSE :)

    When I changed my username Katy, I wrote to the forum team explaining why I wanted it to happen (and begged a lot). In my case I didn't want to be "Worried and Scared" anymore because I found it such a depressing name to be associated with, it actually used to really upset me because it reminded me of horrible times. Plus, the thread I had started about me had just turned into a thread for everyone and it was hardly encouraging to have the thread starter with such a depressing name, I sounded like I was in permanent crisis and it wasn't welcoming. I didn't want to start again with a new account because I was worried that people on the thread would think that I was an imposter and I'd be too paranoid about others thinking that to ever post again. JM gave me the encouragement to ask and I ended up whining to MSE Andrea and the forum team that I had mental health problems and please help me! I don't know if you were reading at the time but everyone here chose Waves and Smiles for me so that I could stay as WaS!

    Email them and explain you have a problem with privacy and I would hope and imagine that will be fine. They don't do it often but it is possible. You can also just start again with a new account? Don't be afraid to ask, they are all lovely.

    Katy I think you have to register again with a different email and user name.I am still betting on Friday and Fridays child is loving and giving,plus you will have the weekend to recover :) ps you could email them as WaS but think most just register again
  • I don't know why but I don't like the idea of starting again! It might be easier though, and it is my own fault really for not being private enough.

    Friday would be good geminilady, I have appointments Wednesday and Thursday this week so could get them out the way.

    I wish I had some helpful suggestions Faerie, it does sound like you are having a rotten time. Give your cats a big cuddle (if you can cuddle cats!). I hope things start to look up for you
  • Oh, Faerie you really do sound down. Please remember that we all here for you any time. You aren't alone. I second having some cat cuddles.

    Do email the forum team Katy, and explain. It doesn't hurt to ask and they might just do it. They are a friendly bunch and do try to help where they can.

    Katy, the thread motto, loosely translated, means.....

    "We can all be heard for a little while!" :D:D




    WaS, as long as your plants aren't turning into the one from "Little Shop of Horrors"! :rotfl:

    What was it's name?.........oh yes, Audrey II!

    (WaS, if you haven't seen it, it's a comedy musical, not a horror film, a bit like the Rocky Horror Show was! )

    Baby Audrey II

    Grown up rampant man eating Audrey II

    It was a musical. When the baby sucker plants start joining in the chorus, it brought the house down.

    Audrey II : I'm a mean green mother from outer space and I'm baaaaaaad!

    Chorus : Mean! Green! Bad!!

    Although a comedy, it was billed a a horror comedy, there are gory bits - it's got a man eating plant from outer space as a character, it's going to be nasty in parts.
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:
  • Hahahaha! That would be Audrey II Pyxis, and it's owner was Seymour! I love that film.

    I am either growing a bunch of those or a few Triffids!
