What's upset you?

[Davros]

It's me again.

The majority of people I used to talk to are now ignoring me or wanting nothing to do with me. Of course it's all my fucking fault. I swear one day I'll just fucking snap and slit my throat. Yay BPD.

No, it's not that were ignoring you. I said I thought you needed to get to a Dr and this is the first time I've seen you post since. How can you say we're ignoring you?

As I've said in a previous post. I'm going through some heavy shit myself. I'm not going into detail but it's upset me. Even though I feel better than when I first posted it's still there.

On a side note have you got something to look forward to? A gig or something? I have things coming up so I focus on them playing the said bands music to block what's going on. Well that helps for me.

Incedently if anyone on here who knows me in real life or a bit more personaly on here feel free to pm about what's going on.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean you at all or in fact anyone else on here. I was ranting about my online friends stretching over a few games. My bad.

Ah OK that makes sense now. How are you doing? Even though I don't know you in "real life". I'm genuinely concerned.

The news that Ian Paice of Deep Purple has had a TIA (mini-stroke). Although he is hoping to resume touring again in a month, we have lost way too many this year and the initial rumours of a major stroke was upsetting to say the least.

The good news is that if treated immediately, it should go no further than that. My dad had a TIA last month.

[ScrumpiesVeteran]

cheers for that Tet and I hope your Dad is doing well.

So a quick follow-up. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder today. We're now looking at options for treatment. Emotional, but very grateful for the amazing and hard work Sweden puts into its mental health teams.

You're in a good place. Speaking from ignorance admittedly, the UK has some way to go with that sort of thing, still.

I didn't like to speculate but I thought that was probably the case from what I'd read on here. Difficult in the sense that it can't be treated so much with medication, but understanding why you feel the way you do and how you've developed certain coping mechanisms (often rooted in past experiences) is half the battle really in terms of figuring out how to move forward. I've had patients who've raved about DBT.

Cheers guys

I'm getting sent to DBT asap, so feeling quite hopeful. Medication for me works all right. Flouxetine 60mg, Lamatrigin 100mg and Atarax when needed to tackle the anxiety.

There was another BT thing they want me to go for, but can't for the life of me remember what the first word was.

Good to hear you are making positive progress Moo

[Jobdone]

Ai it's always best to actually have a diagnosis so you can work towards some fixes.

And good effort on Swedens mental health care. If I remember right took me like 3 months to see a therapist and she just repeated what the doctor told me and sent me on my way.

It can be pretty shoddy here - my doctor was wonderful but they did send me to this course which was supposed to help cope with depression and it was awful. The people doing it were super patronising - they even spoke to us like we were slightly brain damaged. I only went to one session and never bothered again. A really creepy man sat next to me which didn't help.

Really glad things are looking up for you!

Glad you got a diagnosis Moo <3 I had a friend go through the exact same thing, and when she was diagnosed she said she felt such enormous relief that she finally knew what was wrong and could work at living with it.

So, I hit someone last night. Driving the van home and a drunk guy lurched out in the road and caught the side of my van. I thought i'd killed him, proper went into shock.
Initial diagnosis from the ambulance and they think he's okay, he was a big Polish lad but they wouldn't let me go until the hospital diagnosis came back. It never did so at 5 in the morning they told me i was free to leave.
I've just been lying in bed for the whole day, crying and wondering what the fuck I'm going to do now.
This guy could have life-changing injuries, and he could try to prosecute me.
There's a huge dent in the side of the van and I'm liable for £1k excess.
I have literally no idea how to carry on with life at this point in time.
