Self Harm

Thanks @Zoe7 I don't really identify with being an alcoholic but I do misuse alcohol and that needs to stop poor Mr Angels is tired of my lies and concealment and inappropriate behaviour. All symptoms of and exacerbated by my borderline personality disorder.

IKR @TAB It was my psychiatrist who put me on the anti drinking meds, he says my SH increases and suicidality increases when I drink

Don't be so hard on yourself right now @Angels333 It is great you have identified a part of your life you need to work on - and have made a massive step the last 9 days 👍 Little by little with everything you are dealing with hey.

I feel for both you and Mr Angels You are going through so much physically alongside your mental health - and that must be so hard on you both - but you have each other and can work through anything

I hear you @TAB about to try rTMS if that doesn't work then ECT next

Well done @Angels333 – 9 days sober is such a huge achievement. I think Zoe said it well – you have identified something to work on and are tackling it, hard as it may be.

It sounds very challenging to be experiencing the seizures with your neurological disorder and not to have your house well set up for you. Do you have an OT or other support to help with this side of things?

It’s so hard to be experiencing those feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness. It sounds like this is something you are working on with your psychiatrist, which is really good to hear.

Please keep reaching out here and letting us know how things are going for you.

I had an OT assessment last week. In the process of applying for the NDIS

I feel catatonic when I get overwhelmed

I had to deal with feeling or experiencing catatonia in the early days after the 2 years of lots of grief that threw my life into chaos. It was a long time ago and somehow I came through it. Nothing to wish upon anyone.
