Been in hospital

Hi @Ellie

Its great to hear from you, how are you going at the PARC? (what is that?) I'm looking forward to seeing you aruond again! Really hope that the time in hospital has been helpful and things are better than they were,

Take care,

LJ

Hi LJ and thanks for your kind regards. All in all, it's been a positive experience and I'm starting to feel much better. I have actually asked what PARC stands for and was told, but if I don't write everything down, my unfocused mind forgets straight away. I'll have to ask again and let you know.

I think it is Prevention and Recovery Care

Thanks chookmojo. That makes sense as the programs certainly fit with prevention and recovery care.

That sounds good @chookmojo thanks!

I'm always trying to figure out what thses things mean hehe!

Welcome back @Ellie

Thinking of you @Ellie

Really glad you updated us and you feel like you're improving.

Hi @Ellie,

I hope the chance to be cared for for a wee while has been a positive experience for you, despite whatever took you there in the first place. All my best wishes that it supports you in moving forward. Thanks for sharing that you're okay.

Kind regards,

Aonaran

Thanks to all your kind thoughts. Whilst at PARC, I had no access to a computer to reply, so was only able to reply when home on leave, however I was discharged this morning so will be about for a few days.

I've leased a unit in Belmont, Geelong for at least the next 12 months where I hope to soon get into a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy program. I had to have a permanent address in the Geelong region to get into DBT. My current home is on the market and I'll know tomorrow (Tues) if the young couple who want to buy it have got their loan. At the end of my 12 month lease on the unit and provided I'm not "homesick" I'll most likely buy a unit in the Belmont area.

I had my final review this morning before discharge and it didn't go too well. Unbeknown to me, the unit I leased is out of the range of my current team, so I'll be transitioned over to a new team. I don't mind that so much, but I'll also loose my lovely and knowledgeable psychiatrist. Those with BPD can only imagine what that did to me when I heard the bad news. I immediately clicked with my current psychiatrist and now I have to go through the process of learning to trust another one, if indeed that's even possible. I'll try to engage with the new team and see how it goes, even though my current thoughts are to not have anything to do with them at all, but well see how it pans out when I catch up with them in a week or so.

Once again, thanks for your support. I'll keep this updated as things progress, although I'm not sure I'll have Internet access for awhile.

Kind regards,

Ellie.
