I will ask. The trouble I have is that my mental health team are very unwilling to talk about labels which on one hand is good so as not to get bogged down with a preconceived idea of what is a symptom of something. But on the other hand I believe that sometimes you need a labeled diagnosis to...

Oh don't worry I will have a search through the site for it and keep my eyes open for anything that comes up. Thanks again for letting me know

Hi Laurie, Thanks so much for replying. That would be brilliant, has a date been set for the next meet up yet do you know?

Hi Solara, no I don't have a diagnosis of DID. I have always put this down to just dissociation due to the events that caused my PTSD but looked at it as part of the same thing rather than separate. But maybe you are right. I have tried speaking to my doctor before but they haven't seemed that...

Hi all, I'm not sure that this is in the right place, so apologies if its not. Does anyone know of any support groups in the west Midlands of the UK? Specifically worcestershire. Thanks

I feel so much worse at the point of creating something when its stuck in my head and it won't stop going around and around. Its psychically and emotionally painfull. But I guess all of that would be there in a different form anyway. When I've finished though, its so cathartic, I can look at a...

Hi intothelight and joeylittle thanks to both of you

I think my dark side is tied to my creativity. Some of the ideas for drawings I have make people shudder but they always say something prevelant to me and my experience. I don't feel in control of the thoughts that come with it but I can choose if I create what its suggested. I actually love...

Its not fun having to rely on something that makes you feel so lousy. I'm in the uk so I'm not sure how it works there but ablify is also an antidepressant could you add it back in under that header to give you a bit more go?

Hi sonic I'm sorry your suffering at the moment, hang in there. You mention being on antipsychotics, have you had any experience with ablify it doesn't inhibit dopamine in the same way that the others do. Could be something to talk to your doc about?

Hi SabrinaB

Go hungry, I'm sorry that this is something that you too have to contend with so often. I know this sounds awefull but its nice to know I'm not alone. Ellabella thank you for your advice I will definitely give some though to some ground rules and try writing a letter. I think I need to find a...

Thanks Solara. I will have a search to try and find some posts.

Thanks Ellabella, this is all really new to me. I've always had the experience of someone else taking over for me when I get stressed and I've never really been able to remember it. Its only recently after coming off of a strong dose of a psychotropic drug that I was wrongly kept on for years...

Thanks Hope4future I will try that. I've always tried to just ignore and not engage with any voices but thats obviously not working so I will try this approach.

Hi all, I'm not quite sure if this is normal or not but I have different voices in my head that are like the different aspects of me. Almost like I'm not a whole person but several different parts that would make up a whole if they all merged together. Anyway the last few days the self...

Hi stenni thanks, just looking through the advice given in other posts has been invaluble so far.

Hi Hope4Now

Thanks Sammy and Nighthawk. Solara, you have to laugh at the reasoning behind diagnosis, the best I had over the years was being told to go away and Google borderline personality disorder by a NHS psychiatrist because like you I wasn't responding to antidepressants and I was self harming and...

Hi all, I've been looking around the posts here for a while now and find them all massivly helpful in not feeling so alone. I've finally today worked up the courage to register and introduce myself. A little history about me... I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by a family member and...
