Phone call on a train is one thing, but surely there should be some sort of consideration for how very LOUD one speaks? Perhaps I’m just old-fashioned and actually everyone should be free to do as they please regardless of the impact on others.
You know what, I think I’m getting better. Fragile, undoubtedly, but I almost think I’m safe. Hoping this isn’t a false hope. Desperate to go back to work but think it’s a bit risky - hoping to start to dip my toe in though - fed up with feeling like a useless, fraudulent slacker. ECT is a game-changer.
Crisis have assured me no MHAA on the cards despite what I told them earlier in the week. This is a huge relief and just maybe I’ll be able to be honest without fear of repercussions going forwards. Being able to speak freely without consequence is the biggest protective intervention there is.
Pondering over where the sweet spot is in the human lifespan. Around long enough to offer the value of experience, but not so long as to have disproportionate need to use.
Getting older is really hard when your identity is that of a young person - for all of us, being younger is all we’ve ever known.

Child birthdays are, I think, even more significant for the parents than the child. Pride in what they’ve achieved, hope for what’s next, relief that you’ve got them this far, sadness at the swift passing of time, gratitude for the gift that they are and thankfulness for the precious memories you’ve made together and who they’re becoming. Most of all, though, it’s overwhelmingly love. Love conquers all.
Have had a lot of psychology around being able to ask for help because I’m awful at it.
Today I was told by CMHT that I’ve had quite a bit of contact recently and they didn’t want me to become reliant. (No contact was initiated by me.)
Revert to type then.
If I didn’t know the ethos of many psych services, I’d take this personally and be upset. However, it’s often just par for the course, so just 🤷♀️.
Parent, showing interest in the child: “Did you do piano today?”
Child: “No, I jumped off a volcano.”
Why do we bother?!

CPTSD shares several clinical features with PTSD and BPD, while also having important points of distinction. 🚨
Ultimately, it is the constellation of symptoms = PTSD symptoms + disturbances in
-affect regulation
-self-concept
-interpersonal functioning
than any single unique criterion, that defines CPTSD.
Re BPD similarly there are phenomenological differences etc persistent negative self concept vs an unstable one ..
