Welcome Denise. Do you take any medication? Are you being supported? We’re not great with mental health in this country.

My son has mental health issues too. Xxx

Hi Sassy Hun. Yes, I've got medication & take it. I'm supported by my husband & Mental health services that's when they want to support me.

Hi denisenicholls, I see you've just joined us, so a very warm welcome to this community. It's so nice and refreshing to hear someone saying very straightforwardly "I've had Mental illness since 2008". If more people followed your lead, I'm sure there wouldn't be such negativity about it spread around by those who just don't understand it, or its challenges.

I expect you already know that there isn't really a cure for BPD, but that it can be greatly helped with medication and also how important it is to keep on taking that, always.

If we can be of any support and help to you, or you just want to let off steam, please feel welcome to do so. Very best wishes.

Thank you for accepting me. I will always take my meds. Up at my clinic, they are not answering my calls to Duty team or Out of hours team. I'm finding it a bit difficult. I only get a fifteen-minute phoneca\ll every Monday. I don't think that's enough.
