Something’s not right

Riding a wave

Riding a wave

Hi all,

@CherryBomb, @Former-Member or any other @Former-Member floating around Forum Land, will you ride a wave with me? I thought I would be fine doing something...but it turns out that the something has made my big feelings BIG and now I'm in a pickle...and there's nothing worse than a pickled turtle! I'm going to go and snuggle in my bed so I probably won't actually respond to you, but it will still super help me to know that I am not utterly alone on the wave. I don't want to tag anyone else because I don't want anyone to feel they need to respond. Thank you in advance for riding with me.

Stay safe, be well ocean dwellers.

Super big thank you for the lift back to the ocean @NikNik. I think I might have a sleepover in your nutella jar tonight while @Jupiter watches over the ocean.

Re: Riding a wave

I am just sitting here reflecting a little before I head out of Forum Land for the night. I was reading about the experiences of others in hospital, and they are so far removed from my own experiences, it's bewildering. I know I can't even write about my experiences in detail here (I've done that before and had the post removed because of the risk of it distressing others). I really want to talk about it...I guess one day TTT and I will get around to it.

None of my 40+ hospital admissions have been for more than 72 hours - even after a suicide attempt. I guess it depends entirely on the particular local health district as to what sort of support a person diagnosed with BPD gets (or doesn't get!). I have never received any actual help or support in hospital. It has always been an arse-covering exercise, where I get admitted because no one wants to cop the blame if I suicided. I am really intrigued by the idea that some people actually get help in hospital. Sigh...It is super hard for a wonky little turtle to understand.

Night Forum Land.

Hi @SleepyPanda I super wish you worked more sociable hours. I super like you. I super like falling asleep knowing there is a sleepy panda watching over the ocean. 😊

*quietly comes by to leave some apple cake and apple crumble servings, each with a generous dollop of whipped cream, for the ocean dwellers* I know I needed something a bit different after all that Nutella.

*slips in to collect empty plates, leaves some toast spread with homemade passionfruit butter for the little turtle*

Be well, little turtle.
