Re: catching up

Oh my angel, that would be great, no need to check all day, i don't even know when the appointment is, i wil lfind out this afternoon, so please don't check the computer every hour, just when you get some spare time it would be nice to get the odd message from my angel 🙂

Oh no Karen, you poor thing and your daughter too, i think she might be worried about you also, i wish she did not have any night terrors, she does not deserve to be troubled by such things.

Karen please try not to focus on the labels your treaing team give you, they are just a diagnosis so they can formulate a treatment plan for you, your label does not define who you are, it just defines the treatments available.

Karen please do not be ashamed, their are many, many people with mental illness, of all varying degrees, some simple, some complex, i wish we could sit and talk or chat privatly through email, i get very sad you have no one to help get things off your mind, i would like to be the person you could confide in 🙂

My angel i would never judge you or make you feel bad about what they label you as, to me you are a loving mother, caring woman, awsome friend, wonderful person and a kind soul.

Karen that is all anyone needs to know, no one needs to know the labels your treating team put on you, that is between you and your MH professionals 🙂

hugs my angel, to me you are the world and all the stars combined, you are priceless. 😄

Re: catching up

Thanks Jacques I just wish I wasn't so ashamed about the diagnosis.

My treating team want me to go to a special place where that is all they treat. Which means the ptsd, anxiety, ocd, depression and suicide ideation wont be treated.

I really don't agree with the diagnosis. I think they just want to get rid of me because they don't know what to do.

im sorry j I wish u coukd tell you maybe you already know. Im so scared people usually wont treat this condition.

Re: catching up

It is ok Karen, i know it wil ltake you time to come to terms with it, i know the burden of labels, i think that is why i am so scared of being diagnosed, it is possible they have reached the end of their expertise, but please don't write offf another treatment, if it helps you life a happy life it is worth it, even if it is uncomfortable to deal with.

I think i know what it is and their is nothing to be ashamed of, people are cruel Karen, if it is not your label it would be something else. the trick is to avoid people who are mean and people who are nice and like you unconditionally closer, Karen you are not your illness, anyone who treats you as such is not worth your time.

Karen, it would not matter to me what you where diagnosed with, i know you, the real you, the Karen who shines every day, who helps me and encourages me to keep going, would you be ashamed if you where diagnosed with cancer, or any other physical illness?

Karen i know it is tough, i know you are scared of what people think and what lays ahead, we all are, i know i am, we just have to take each day as it comes. endure the pain and hurt, and enjoy the happy times when they come.

That is all we can ask for. i wish we could talk more openly my angel, maybe one day we will be able to 🙂

hugs

Jacques

Re: catching up

Jacques you have said before that you think you might have it. I know Amber was diagnosed with it

I wish I knew where to get some more accurate information the stuff on the internet is all doom and gloom.

Thats why I asked you if you were formally diagnosed. Because you speak of it occasionally.

Re: catching up

Re: catching up

Karen their is some great information on this site

https://www.sane.org/mental-health-and-illness/facts-and-guides/borderline-personality-disorder

please check it out, keep looking for information, i know the internet can make things worse, please try to find books on the subject, i know libraries or bookshops have plenty of books on the topic.

hugs my angel, knowledge is keyu to understanding. 🙂

Re: catching up

Karen you are nothing like him, just because you have the same diagnosis does not mean you are the same, i know you would not hurt anyone, i know you are not manipulative i know you Karen, yes you mood is up and down, so is mine.

Please Karen don't compaire yourself to him, you are not him, you are a loving mother, caring woman, awsome friend and caring soul, he was none of that.

Karen please focus on who you are not what you have been labeled with. i will never leave your side not even for a minute, well maybe to stop in at the local coffee shop 😄 but that is all.

you are wonderful Karen, labels are ment for softdrink, not people. 🙂

Re: catching up

Karen i know i have what you where diagnosed with, i don't need to be diagnosed myself i know enough about it to know i have it, i am not ashamed, i am not happy about it either, it is part of me, but does not define me 🙂

Hugs my angel, just another thing that makes us closer another thing we have in common

Re: catching up

Jacques you guessed wow you are good.
I just hate the stigma im not aggressive or violent.
Im passive.
Jacques thank you for your support. Im glad you guessed it.

I would never have thought.....
I like that labels are ment for soft drinks. I'll have to remember that.
I am scared that you wouldn't like me if you knew.
yes im so insecure.
