Hi to everybody from QF,
Can I introduce myself? I have had the misfortune of suffering from mental health problems since my early twenties.....I am now getting on towards
pensionable age ugh!
I held a teaching job down for 20 years until I had to take early retirement at the tender age of 40!
Since then my problems have increased having had two hospital admissions and one crisis after another. I am in crisis at the moment having lost my partner and my father in the past 18 months. I have, and continue to experience intense bullying from my neighbours, so much so that I am having to leave my home in order to try and get a bit of peace of mind.
In 2003 I was given a diagnosis of bipolar2 and then with a change of CMHT and Psychiatrist I have recently been told I have BPD.
This came as a tremendous shock and have had great difficulty accepting it.
But life goes on.I have tried to take my life a couple of times, but have more ideations of suicide than anything. I have taken to cutting in recent years.
I am fortunate to have an understanding and patient CPN, and although the road has been very rocky between us, I know that she is good for me.
There are times, especially recently, when I wonder if its worth what has to be called a fight to keep going, but here I am. I feel so many times that I'm going under, but I keep bouncing back to the surface.
I've never been on this kind of site before, but hope that I can help other folks and that they can help me.
