I am just sitting here reflecting a little before I head out of Forum Land for the night. I was reading about the experiences of others in hospital, and they are so far removed from my own experiences, it's bewildering. I know I can't even write about my experiences in detail here (I've done that before and had the post removed because of the risk of it distressing others). I really want to talk about it...I guess one day TTT and I will get around to it.
None of my 40+ hospital admissions have been for more than 72 hours - even after a suicide attempt. I guess it depends entirely on the particular local health district as to what sort of support a person diagnosed with BPD gets (or doesn't get!). I have never received any actual help or support in hospital. It has always been an arse-covering exercise, where I get admitted because no one wants to cop the blame if I suicided. I am really intrigued by the idea that some people actually get help in hospital. Sigh...It is super hard for a wonky little turtle to understand. 
Night Forum Land.
