Hi

Postby Comingoutofmyshell » Fri Nov 04, 2011 2:01 pm

Wow how things move fast on this forum... I've had a bumpy couple of months and thought I'd share a little for the fellow BPD'ers out there and to say that I may be around a bit more now.

So 4 months ago I ended up in hospital pretty bad OD'ed, slashed my tendon in my hand and detox. Oh the dramas of a normal week for me, just x100... Anyhow after having surgery on my hand for ripping through my tendon I woke up to my behaviour and have now been on the 'normal' path for the last 4 months. I spent 12 weeks in hand therapy going back to the same hospital week after week gave me a real push to never be there again. Not saying that I'm 'fixed' but I'm loving life, my family and myself and I never thought in a millions years that I'd ever be at this place. There's a chance of a relapse and I know that, I still think in black and white at times but I'm able to see through that, control it and think with a clear head. I've said and done some crazy stuff here and in 'real' life and I'm sorry for that.

So while I hang around a bit and catch up thought I'd come and say Hi again and hope I can help.

Welcome to the forum. I am so happy for you that you find yourself in what sounds like a much better mental and emotional state. Like you said, you may slide again; however, should that happen, you now have the memories of feeling good, and hopefully it will help give the the strength to make it through.
Look forward to seeing you around the forum.

I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living.

Hi Coming,
It's good to see you back and to hear that you are loving life now. Yay! :)
At first I didn't recognise you without an avatar. :lol: You look bare.
No diagnosis, lots of opinions, and a bunch of issues that I haven't quite figured out.

Welcome back!

We've still got a couple of the familiar faces around plus a few new ones. It's always good to hear when someone's made some steps forward- its encouraging for the rest of us. Thanks for sharing. :)

Yes there have been many changes that I can see, exciting :)

Not a prob with sharing I hope I can help out a little. Amazing to actually feel 'stable', frustrating when you see others go through what you have and yet feel you can't help.

But ask away and I'll try my best :)
