I am prescribed codeine for physical pain - primarily sciatica. I also suffer from fybromyalgia and although not prescribed foe it directly, it helps. I try and be good and not use it everyday and try only taking 1 dose but the difference it makes is big. Because it reieves pain primarily, it in...

Got through appointment to see psych on 11th April - hopefully I'll get the help I need... Worrying already I won't be able to talk :( & T not coming as working - boo!!

Thanks @seedling I still am not sure about the trust thing. Going through a phase of she doesn't know how to help me fybogel& things like this don't help! :( I'm getting better at the whole self hatred thing but definitely still there. Think whenever I went it was a Mon verbal place as I felt...

I struggle a lot with IBS symptoms. Lots of cramping that gets so bad I can't sleep on my side as so painful :( Also get a lots of diarrhea and constipation, as well as flactulance. It makes me feel so dirty & unclean. :( Boo!! I haven't really found anything that helps - Dr. Prescribed me...

*Hugs* Wow! What bravery you have shown - you should feel really proud! :) I ended out dropping out of uni 10 years ago due to what then was labelled as BPD, but since been diagnosed with PTSD. I moved back home and lost direction. After lots of therapy I started working in a school and...

This whole debate annoys me so much!! Professionals are incredibly judgmental towards people with BPD, I hate it! :( I was 1st diagnosed with BPD 10yrs ago. I was an angry, self hating machine that hated myself and self harmed a lot. I think anyone that self harms gets given the BPD diagnosis...

She said when she checked out I was ok last night that it means I trust her. I'm not so sure - I had no control over it. Hate this bit of me :( Still not quite with it this morning & so much to do...

Saw T today. In the middle of a 6 week manic episode caused by quetiapine. Still waiting to see psych. T said she'd never seen me this bad in the whole 2 years she's known me. Oops! & she's beginning to worry that it's not easing :( We talked about ways to calm myself down, including relaxation...

Still struggling with mania. Went to Dr on Friday - we've decreased quetiapine back to 125 as decided not sensible to keep increasing. She's going to contact psychiatrist for appointment/advice and I've got to phone her end of next week. Apparently my anxiety is making it worse as worrying about...

That's what I'm starting to think - I know 2 people who adopted recently (both of which were married tho & no trauma involved)

Wow!!! I could have written that myself!!!! Sadly, I haven't found any answers beyond understanding it yet. Hate anyone touching me from behind - I will usually lash out (even if someone I know!) & it'll trigger body memories (every touch feels like it's burning me from& no matter where I'm...

*hugs* My anxiety is always worst when waiting to see Dr. Even a couple of minutes seem like an eternity :( I get very jittery - twitch lots & can physically feel my heartrate rising - it's absolutely horrid!!

I made crib cards a while ago to carry around so when feel different emotions e.g. panic/dissociation/flashbacks etc. it gives me strategies to use to gound myself and phrases to say to myself - if I was compous mentous enough to remember them they were helpful, but I need to use the before...

I was going to make one 18months ago, when I was at my worst, in constant flashback hell, but never did. They're such a good idea :)

Def sounds like dissociation . I struggle with it a lot - boo! :(

Never heard that before. Don't think I'm ADHD tho, never usually feel like this. Usually I feel more depressed...

.. He agreed I was manic, but thought it was coincidence and not caused by increased quetiapine. He said I this is why I need to increase to stabilize my mood. Soooops frustrating when I know something's not right! :( He said to go back in 2 weeks, but if I get worse to go back to 100 and make...

Glad I'm not the only one struggling NHS! :( My GP is good, but just doesn't get it. If I feel no better in 2 weeks I'll ask to be re-referred. My T suggested lamotrogine... I need something to stabilize my mood that's for sure...

So, I saw GP - he seems to think it's coincidence I'm so manic... Hmmm... Gone up to 150 and it's still not knocking me out :s Feel like I'm now going through a mixed episode rather than just pure mania and I HATE it!! :( Feel so out of control! Going to give it another week, then I'm going...

No, but sounds like exactly what I need!

Seeing GP tomorrow AM... Eeek! Don't know quite what to say. But my moods have been proper intense - more manic than ever, seriously strong & inappropriate anger (not been this bad in 10 yrs!) & then today got so so so stressed and emotional as lost purse... Everything seems so heightened &...

*Big hugs* I'm glad things have settled x

:) Awesome!!! After 4 months off work with severe anxiety & PTSD, I've just finished a full year's work full time :) In this time I've started a new job which has made a massive difference :) I understand how hard it can be to work full time, but without my job I'd find life a lot harder & be a...

Because it validates so many of my symptoms & will hopefully help me access the support I need and be taken seriously. Without it being validated I am still left floating around confused & unable to get the right help. I know a label isn't a solution or quick fix - I hate being BPD!! But this...

*Big hugs* Sounds horrid. Boo!!! My sister who isbipolar spent 4 months in hospital after a manic episode - it awful :( At the moment it's not having a negative impact on my functioning, but I'm worried if I continue it Will do! :(
