@Daydream MI faces a lot of discrimination and stigma I find that connect with people I knew before helps because they know me well before the illness. Then some people I knew even had similar experiences to me wouldn't want to reconnect because of very different life views.
May be I only feel sense of great loss to people I value. The ones did care and support me.
May be if we reach out to people who do care.then MI may not be a big issue.

Hi @Meowmy ,
Sorry but Easter was bad, my partner has rejected spending time with me and our 2 yr old for weeks now. We sat at home all day then I took her to the park by myself late in the afternoon. We are over, I can't live with her manipulative tactics and her controlling behavior of me. Het 13 yr old is her partner in arms and has divided us apart.
I'm checking back into the clinic tomorrow, at least I will get some rest.
How are things with you? It must be hard looking after your mum?

@Bentpole-01 sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope rest in clinic will help a lot. It is very hard when relationships fall out. Please take care of yourself.

Hey, @Meowmy
Yes it's good to get a break from home life. Is very lonely in here though.
Things got even tougher today, my psychologist told me that she doesn't believe I have BPD. That my reactions are completely understandable and normal. I told my partner as soon as I got out of there and she said she doesn't believe it! It's the best news I've had for a long time and the one person I thought was my support, is opposing it? Why?

@Bentpole-01 not easy for you. But you seem strong enough to deal with this. Keep positive. Take care.

Hi @Meowmy , it's been a while since I've been on here. So I split up with my partner after we got a visit from the police.(I won't go into details). I've been living by myself for about two months now, I get my children every week which is good. I'm happy being by myself, I don't have to answer to anyone and can do what I like. What are your thoughts on it?

@Bentpole-01 Good morning. Think may be a positive step. Living in toxic relationship does more harm than good. May be you can find better relationships now you are free. Take care of yourself.
