Hey everyone,

Just a message to say 'hi' and sorry for not being here as often as I was.

I think things have been changing a lot and studying is taking up a lot of my thoughts and energy, so I'm sorry that I haven't been on here for such a long time.

Things seem to be changing in different and weird ways. Ultimately, I'm not sure where I am in my head space right now. I think I'm trying to let out my anger and I think I have worked out that I'm am in complete control of myself because I'm scared to let go and feel what might be underneath.

I'm socializing with friends better because I feel that I can't rely on my parents these days, though it might change later...

But mainly, I'm sorry for being a selfish communicator. I am a VERY selfish communicator and I feel guilty for that. I am better than before. I've got so used to living in my own world that I just retreat into it and forget what I've invested in. Suddenly, given the moment and phase of my life, I phase things in and out without thinking and things don't last either. I have two close friends from school but that's because they have insisted on keeping contact and now that I'm better at socializin gand keeping promises, I am working on building stronger bonds too.

I've got a psychiatric assessment in about two weeks which I look forward to. *trigger* I have engaged in a bit of self harm because anxiety levels seem to be on the rise at times and I can't handle them.

It's both a positive but also difficult period. I think the more I'm learning to let go, perhaps the more chaos I feel and the more unsure I am as a result which is maybe why I feel I am dissociating. I'm not sure if its dissociation but I get days where I am so not with it...where I'm walking down the road (like today) and my mental energy is so low and I feel so much in a trance that I just want to walk back home and go to sleep.

Anywho, thats the heads up. I hope you are all okay? I'm going to work harder on being more present here even if my mind wants to close down. It's such a strong emotional pull when my mind wants to wonder elsewhere and forget what I invested time in with the past but I need to learn to be more constant. It's hard when impulsivity is at the heart of my personality it seems.

Let me know how you all are? Or I hope you are okay? Smiler Thanks for reading guys. I'll try to make it on here at least a few times a week, even if I'm not in the mindframe but if I don't, I hope you won't mind. It can really be hard sometimes to be consistent...when you learn self-sufficiency at such a young age, I think it is hard for some of us to think of others empathetically when we go through a lot. Well for me its monumentally hard sometimes, or at least half the time.

((love and hugs to all Smiler Smiler))

hey guys. hopw you all okay.

sorry again for not being on here.

i think i dont come on here as often because its triggering talking about therapists right now for me.

basically i was diagnosed BPD a week ago. thats cool, i thought so anyway. I also quit my psychology course because i was doing it i think in a desperate attempt to 'become' or get closer to my therapist in anyway possible and she's done a psychology degree.

i have real identity issues i need to sort out.

im learning a lot of stuff about myself constantly and i will be having more specific therapy because apparently the psychologist was concerned about my attachment issues.

its happened very quickly and im incredibly grateful. therapy hasnt started yet. it will do soon i hope. i almost dont believe it. i expect something to go wrong. im expecting the team to say 'oh sorry, weve got other patients and you are not a priority. please go back to seeking counselling independently'.

anywho, i am very mixed up, confused and i think im learning about the fact that ive lived in fantasy so much...i think i need to start accepting reality. im guessing all of this though..

so yeah i wish i could come on here more without feeling affected about the therapy talk. i will try. i think its also because therapy may end soon with this T and ive adored her. i dont know anything about her but she is very significant in my life...its basically hte most significant relationship and most real relationship thats lasted long that ive had. it still overwhelms me about her care. i dont know what to do about it when she sits in front of me. its sometimes just a bit too foreign for me, too much and i want to stop talking. i want to gaze and admire her from a distance as if she is untouchable.

anyways i hope you are all okay. i will try to pop on here still though because you have all helped me out so much. this is the part where i feel guilty of this detachment issue cause i do care but also i automatically detach so well that i can forget the world within a second. most of waking life consists of me sitting in my own little world.

*hugs to all*. i hope you are all doing okay.
((((FMN)))))

Nice to see you. Glad you could pop in. You have to take care of yourself first so not to worry about your absence.

So glad you will be getting the help you need although I'm sorry you therapy might end with the T you've adored. Oh, yes the identity issues and the fantasy. Know it all too well.

Good luck and keep us updated when you can.



Liese
