I expected better from @guardian than framing this case within the confines of an archaic “BPD = abuser” trope. Not only is it wholly inadequate an argument, it also perpetuates a dangerous stigma within healthcare and society at large. Sigh 😔 https://t.co/6Y8HyVvSYP
@Keirwales When I was diagnosed with ADHD last year I also scored 8/10 on the AQ10 assessment and have since realised (through research) a lot of the things I struggle with are symptoms of ASD. So my long held diagnosis of BPD could indeed be a misdiagnosis
Just been told my eating disorder day-patient ward is being closed because nurses are being deployed to covid wards. This is how dire the situation is; mental health services shutting and unspecialised nurses being used to treat covid patients #COVID19#eatingdisorders#NHS
@BellaKoKo Outpatient services are continuing so hold hope, my service is closing for now though sadly. They were extremely unhelpful in offering further support... ED services have SUCH little funding I know, but I've been tossed from pillar to post so many times I'm a wreck 😓
Just tried to email @BorisJohnson @ no.10. kept receiving "please enter a valid message". Tried from different browsers/devices, no joy UNTIL I removed this: "especially when an underfunded NHS cannot support those in need of psychiatric help". Criticism is screened. Terrifying.
@lejhouston @OpenMindMH @CPriceBeatED @beatED Yep, I’m scared that due to having to self isolate I won’t be able to do my ‘required’ amount of running per week and will turn to other more dangerous measures to cope with the feelings of unease and self disgust.
@KittyCormack @CPriceBeatED @OpenMindMH@beatED Seconded; I saw a nurse for routine health checks on Friday who very insensitively delivered the information that I’m at “high risk of becoming fatally ill if I contract coronavirus due to my low weight/vitamin profile”. I’ve been told to self isolate and am now extremely anxious
@geekmagnifique Trackless cat litter, life with cleaning OCD would be a LOT easier if this existed! (The babes would probably be much happier with how much less hoovering I did too 🤔).
