Title says it all, waiting to see if I will be sectioned.

Tried to kill myself this morning and DH had to 'save' me.

Everything is a huge mess.

Sorry you are still so low, it is so relentless living with it every day.

Do you have any visitors or anything to look forward to this weekend. Does the ward do a takeaway night?

I hope the staff are able to suggest some positive steps forward this week for you.

creamhearts · 08/04/2015 19:53

Meeting was ok, changing my anti-depressant to Venlafaxine from fluoxetine. No discharge date set which is a disappointment.

I am really down and actively suicidal. These past few years have been so difficult for me and I am not sure how to carry on really. I am exhausted from feeling so very sad.

I feel like such a freak for having all these problems. x

How has today been cream? Hope you managed ok at home.

I was wondering if anyone had ever mentioned psychoanalytical therapy? May have other names but think Freud/black couch type.

I was told that if I could get stable enough I would be offered an assessment for this treatment. It helps individuals address the causes behind complex problems and personality traits. I was told it would be a long term therapy and I had to be prepared that there may be no end to it and it may cause a lot of disruption before it starts to help.Being desperate for something to work and having thought I had tried everything, endless meds, cbt, cat, dbt, endless hospital stays it was a real motivator for me to get the sh and suicidal ideation under control. Fortunately I did get to that point and did get to go for the assessment. The psychiatrist decided it was too risky for me to do with having young children so it may be something I visit in the future.

However just knowing it exists gave me a real hope that my very deep seated issues could be addressed and things could be better or at least different.

I wonder if this is something available in your area and something you can talk to your treatment team about?

Have you any leave planned this week? X

creamhearts · 12/04/2015 20:00

I have been referred for specialist treatment so it is a waiting game I guess. Only I am crap at waiting.

Continuing to have some problems with my SI which is a pain.

Not sure how I feel today, bit numb.
