Hi @BlueBay
Thank you and your welcome to jump in anytime too. Yes your right it seems when you meantion BPD some seem to run from it 😕
Im not too sure if the psych ( ill hopefully be able to see ) runs group session or not that shes advertised but i find sometimes we dont know the full extent of their services until we get into see them.

Re: rough time
Lol @Zoe7 well im glad she has a say! My pdoc works part time in the hospital as well so im surprised she doesnt know of anything.
I guess starting anywhere would be helpful right now except trauma work.
Yes please, though i dont know where to start. Its hard to look past tonight tbh but a short term plan for now and the weekend sounds good to me

Re: rough time
The real positive outcome would be to find a psychologist thst you can click eith @outlander
ive been with my psychologist for msybe 5 months and she is a trauma therapist who treats BPD as well. We clicked from the start so I'm very lucky.
It's important to find a genuine caring therapist that really wants to help.

Re: rough time
I think the first place to start is to draw up a table - 4 columns - one for each day and the first column for times. After that break each column into 3 sections - morning afternoon and night... then we can start filling in all the things you have to do over the next three days and when you have to do them. After we do that we can start to work around when you fitin things just for yourself. @outlander I know you jave troublt sleeping but it is essential that you start you day at the same time each day i.e. 8 am and finish at the same time each night - this will begin to get you into a routine which may also help eventually with sleep

Re: rough time
I agree @BlueBay finding one to click with is so tricky esp when its truama things or matters that are long term. Im really glad you found one you click with!
Ok @Zoe7 i start the day at each time its just thr nights, my usual bedtime is 1ish and the more i lay there or fight it the worse it gets but 6 hrs ia still pretty good if i can get that amount..
Give me 2 seconds to grab some paper and pens. Brb

Re: rough time
I remember you used to have an 11pm curfew for yourself for on here - maybe stick that back in as well as any other computer/screen based devices - that way you will be away from the screens of any kind - it is a proven fact that they are not good for sleep. @outlander

Re: rough time
@outlander@Zoe7
When I was in hospital they used to say that routine was important. Snd sleep was very important. They also mentioned not using computers phones etc before going to bed.
@outlander If you can get into a routine it will help you. It is hard but worth a try
