U agree that the hospital has treated you badly, maybe you should make a complaint would it help, its hard to know what to do, has your gp heard anything more about the review, do you know why its taking so long? I know you mentioned before the specialist was away, is that still the case?
If you moved to another area, maybe that would speed things up, different doctors and hopefully more help available. Moving would be stressful too though, but maybe a new start would be good for you.
It took about 25 minutes to fill in the form, my social worker knew nothing about it but then my therapist doesn't tell her about our sessions.
Yeah i read it can pick up alot of stuff, but i found alot of the statements hard to answer i didn't know what to put, sometimes i don,t know what i feel. Anyway i guess i will know next week.
I'm very tired today, i went for two walks but it didn't help i was so tired.
At least i am calmer than i was last week. Take care

I didn't get a chance to look up the questionnaire.  I did write it in a search bar and see some of the results.  It sounds like it can pick up axis i disorders too (mood, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc).
It's not my intention to try and force a diagnosis on you and it may not even apply.
Suicidal and impulsive stuff can be both mood and/ or bpd.  Or probably a number of any other disorder.

No, not much.  Mum has sore eyes so I have been helping feed the animals.
I'm not doing anything constructive.  I am thinking about making a formal complaint against the hospital about how they have and are treating me.
I think I might commit to staying here for a bit and then look at moving.  My life just isn't working here.

At least your appointment is earlier next week.  I guess it would have been too time consuming to have marked everything off on the form during your session.  I hate it when T's take up my therapy time with questionnaires.

I left the form back today and i meet with him on Tuesday so maybe i will know more then. It was all statements and i had to say whether i thought they were true or false relating to how i think about myself, like one of them was, i like to flirt with the opposite sex, or i am fearful and inhibited person another one i find it easy to make and keep friends, i have no close friends apart from family, i feel very depressed and sad all the time, i have tried to commit suicide, thats just a few i had to write true of false beside them. Some of them weren't really relevant to me like i don't think i am superior to other people and i don't see things that aren't there.
I think the ptsd disorder comes from what happened about 8 months ago, then the intensive therapy brought up a lot of past issues. The suicidal part i don't get or the impulsiveness or the strange ideas. I don't know how i feel about all of this i will have to wait and see what he says, maybe it will be ok and he was just checking.
I was with my social worker today trying to put into words how i feel instead of saying ok she wants me to describe how i feel.
The gym is quite affordable here, i just went for a short walk today as its quite warm and i don't like walking when its warm, i'm still sore from the gym so i didn't go there, maybe tomorrow.
You are right feeling suicidal and driving reckless is extreme, i guess i don't understand how bpd works.
I am trying to focus on anything that will help me at the minute no matter what it is, i can't let things go as far as they did on Friday again.
I am feeling just like hiding these days.
Have you been doing much these days?
I need to try and not worry about this. Hope all is well with you.

I don't think it has to be extreme.  But isn't feeling suicidal and driving fast reckless and extreme?
I didn't think I had it either.  My relationships aren't unstable (because I don't have any).  I don't get angry, etc, etc.
I have learnt that the experience of having it is somewhat different to reading the dsm-iv.
Sometimes it just means being anxious, being depressed, feeling suicidal, feeling hurt or angry or upset.

It probably means that you, like most people, have traits of some of the disorders.
For example, people, besides those with bpd, get angry.  It is when something affects your ability to function that it becomes a problem.  There is a definition somewhere for personality disorder too.  I think to be diagnosed it has to be long standing and interfere with your functioning.

How you just described your mood.  That is one of the criteria for bpd.  Labile moods.

Good idea.  Allowing your body time to recover is probably a good idea.  I'm jealous of you going to the gym.  I wish I could afford to go and afford to buy new clothes to wear.

You're probably right.  If I were to write a list and to plan out my day.  I guess it would work better than just doing nothing.  Or watching TV that doesn't help me achieve anything much.  I should stop writing to people and sort out my own problems.

I saw my GP yesterday.  I guess I mentioned it briefly to others who have been messaging me.  You might be able to check out my notes, my comments might be there.  Notes?  Messages??  Not sure.
I got absolutely scrambled when I spoke to him yesterday.  Not sure why that was.  He had to attend a funeral in the morning so my appointment was changed to his last appointment of the day.  It was ... interesting.  I guess he was looking at different ways to address my problems.

Procrastinating on something rarely helps.  You should just fill it in or if you can't mark them and discuss them with your T.

I wonder what PD they think you could have?  Out of all of them I would think that bpd fits the best.  It will be interesting to see how this pans out.  I wonder where the ptsd fits into all this?  I know it can be secondary like mood, anxiety and ED's.
Maybe that is why some of our experiences seem similar.  I hope you don't have bpd.

I wish they had a copy of that questionnaire online.  It would be interesting to fill it out.

I did look up bpd and i although i agree i do have some of those traits, i don't feel that extreme do you know what i mean, but then again i could be wrong.
Its 175 questions and i have to fill in true or false about how i feel the question relates to me. I googled it because i wanted to know why and it said its a test used to assess for personailty disorders. The way i feel applies to alot of the different types of personaility disorder so i don't know what that means. I do remember you mentioning it to me before, i am afraid to fill it in, i don't know how to answer some of them.
If you google this its the name of the questionaire, Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-III
if you look that up it tells you what its used for.
I was panicky all evening i blame it on the fact that he asked me to fill that out. I have my social worker tomorrow she wants to talk more about my relationship with my partner, the support worker i see from womans aid called them and said they needed to start taking me seriously. I am glad she agrees with me about my partner. My social worker told her that my partner was good to me and that i perceived his concern as abuse, its obvious they don't listen, i'm not stupid, stuff he says and does is wrong, anyway they are having a meeting about how they can help but i can't be there, i don't like that.
My moods are mad i'm like the weather.
I gave the gym a miss today but i hope to go back tomorrow.
A list sounds good then you know what you need to do.
Have you been seeing your GP lately?
I hope all is well with you, i need to go to bed but its 1am and i am anxious about the questionaire, i have to fill it in and take it to his office tomorrow. Take care

Oh dear.  I guess like everything exercise is good in moderation.  Just remember like with most other things you need to start out slowly.  Pulling all your muscles in the first week won't help much, or be very pleasant.
Having a list is good.  Talking does help.  That is what has made the biggest difference for me.  My next step is to act on some of the things I need to do.

What is the questionnaire.  I would be interested in looking at that.
Just been honest when filling out the questionnaire.  Tick the box that you feel is most appropriate.  If it's one of those.  Most of the psych ones I have done are about circling numbers or letters or ticking boxes.

I would be feeling stressed and anxious too.  I expect he may have given it to you because he suspects something else and maybe he didn't want to worry you or cause you to answer it differently to what you would.

I have already suggested to you that I feel that you could have bpd (or complex-ptsd).
Have you tried looking up the dsm-iv for bpd?

I think that you don't like to be alone.  That fits abandonment issues.
I think that you are impulsive.  You have said that you feel suicidal.  I think your mood changes.  You feel OK for a bit, then feel down again.  To me the bpd stuff seems to fit.
It can't be diagnosed though if your symptoms are better accounted for by another disorder or is caused by a medical condition, etc.
Have a look and see what you think.  This is going to be hard for you.
