I never hear conversations about ambiguous loss. Eight years on and seeing this is heartbreaking. She turns 18 this year - but I doubt she remembers me.

Whenever this time of year comes around I feel awful. Like I am 17 again walking the streets with just a plastic bag of clothes wondering what is next. But I am making progress. Last year I was sectioned on this date. This year will be better. Hoping one day I might heal.

Fern Foster @ElyssaLeopard Narrative Inquest Conclusion georgejulian.co.uk/2024/04/18/fer… Suicide Two contributory factors: 1) Lack of independent advocacy 2) The manner in which she learned the news her baby was likely to be adopted, without any professional support #GoPinkForFern
Today I got the news that I am being discharged from the CMHT after 5 years of being under them continuously! Not under the best circumstances but I am doing well. I should get an official letter in the next 2 weeks. Thinking of getting this when it is official.

Yesterday I had an assessment with a DBT unit called Hope House run by @elysiumcare (Yes I’m naming and shaming them). I’d like to highlight 2 practices they openly brag about within their treatment for women with ‘EUPD’. 1) behavioural incentive pathway 2) blank face 1:1…

4. I am under cmht but there is no one with autism training in the whole team so MH care is not accessible for me

just wanted to add to this without replying to the thread - if the BPD diagnosis helps you, i do not want to take that away from you. it helped me once too. i’ve since become more critical of it but at the heart of my beliefs is that people with this diagnosis deserve better.
@Amy_The_Runner labelled with BPD as i do not believe it is a valid diagnostic construct.
@Amy_The_Runner This is a really mean and unpleasant take
@Amy_The_Runner Calling people 'borderlines' is so dehumanising. I've seen people with BPD act autistic, most likely because they are autistic. Don't blame them for your diagnosis being delayed.
@Amy_The_Runner @RITB_ @autisticpuffin I don’t understand how you, an autistic person misdiagnosed with BPD, think you’re somehow different to other autistic people, likely also misdiagnosed with BPD
#dumpthescales I was discharged and given up by a nhs ed service when I was at my worst. I was told I exhausted all options. here I am, 5 years later! I’m not only surviving but living and thriving. recovery is possible so please never say ‘no’ but help!!!
My solidarity with #dumpthescales protesters today. Everyone deserves treatment for disordered eating from first approach to a professional. Exclusion criteria based on weight/BMI, supposed 'personality disorder' or ongoing substance misuse kill. No-one is beyond help. Ever.
You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me
@ZahraLXP I came home the other day and we had locked lily in our tiny porch for 9 hours!! Her meow was hoarse from crying all day 😬🙈
Two NHS letters arrived for me, maybe, I thought, somebody is going to offer me something new! Turned out to be 1) a letter offering me a phone appointment with my psychiatrist in five weeks’ time 2) a letter cancelling that same appointment 😞
@ZahraLXP I’ll have a look as haven’t read it in a while! x
@ZahraLXP It makes such a difference. I had a placement in a priory that had an ED ward and the food there was so nice. It really shouldn’t be a hard thing to do.
I get so excited when my friends and family do anything that might improve their sleep/sleep routine 😅 such a weirdly specific like but I've had enough insomnia in life that I'm really excitable when it comes to sleep quality
@ZahraLXP you’re very welcome. I wish you all the best in your healing journey. While the wound may never truly heal the burden can be lighter to bear 💓 x
@ZahraLXP as a care kid who is also bereaved by sibling loss: your grief is absolutely valid. I mourned my sister far before she died, I have lost my niece to adoption, and I have a limited relationship with my brother. All of this is loss. Sibling separation through care is v difficult 💗
@ZahraLXP @FionaNaylor2 My heart breaks for you both and hope you both allow yourself to grieve in whatever way you need. Sending strength x
@LucyGoBag @MsKirstySmith @NicolaLPotts @sheena_byrom Quite a lot of deletions here but the internet never forgets and I keep receipts 😈
@ZahraLXP YW. My life has a lot of grief moments, but only a handful are deaths, the rest are…all sorts of loses that hurt.
@ZahraLXP oh, my heart just broke a little also…I was in care. These losses are hard and still catch me out. Love n hugs 💗
