1. Getting a #bpd diagnosis so young (15) destroyed what was left of my self-esteem. It’s punitive & blaming. Still angry that the ppl who hurt me moved on with their lives but I was branded as having a clinically “dramatic” PD as a child processing trauma.

Thank you to all our colleagues for taking part and to everyone who joined the march with us or stopped by to say hello at the RUH stall.

4 loveable pig sisters are available to go to a very good home which will look after them (and not slaughter them). They are alive thanks to the wonderful Every Pig Rescue. https://t.co/wclMX27fhC

Fun fact for CAMHS everywhere,
Did You Know! that there are approx 46193681 other potential explanations for a young person’s recurring severe distress APART FROM ‘emerging EUPD’?

At last a national news article highlighting the harms of the BPD diagnosis.

"Leading medics are now calling for an immediate ban on youngsters being classed as having BPD"

@Ed_Wright2014 @autisticpuffin Whilst we’re at it, I also did not “conceal foreign objects”, take illicit substances or consume alcohol whilst a patient on the ward, but those are still listed as reasons for the contract.

[Ceylan Scott 🌱 @ceylan_scott]

(CW SH/su**ide). ‘Behaviour contracts’ in the management of risk in #borderlinepersonalitydisorder (#bpd) patients are utterly wrong & do NOT work. Just found this photo of one from an NHS #psychward I was on when in crisis in 2021 & it makes me angry even now.

The UK has a very serious Far Right Racist problem and they absolutely do not want to admit.

@Ed_Wright2014 @autisticpuffin In my case, it literally was. I was never verbally abusive or threatening to anyone- staff or patients. I don’t have anything else to say on that issue. I was on a ward where I was bullied, neglected & mistreated and that’s all there is to it.

[Ceylan Scott 🌱 @ceylan_scott]

@foxinthemist @Ed_Wright2014 @autisticpuffin Exactly, thank you!

@Keirwales @foxinthemist The Dr was behind the contract in my case, so I think he’d made the decision already

[Ceylan Scott 🌱 @ceylan_scott]

@graceyoutreach I also never once was abusive or made threats to anyone, so that is just a complete lie so they can justify using a “contract” further.

[Ceylan Scott 🌱 @ceylan_scott]

@graceyoutreach I think that’s the bit that upsets me the most. Showers were causing me flashbacks because of PTSD, but struggling to wash somehow became a behavioural issue that warranted discharge…
