Hi
I don't post on here anymore really, as I am no longer an "active" self harmer and haven't been for a while.
But I'm going to be trying some new treatment soon for what *IS* wrong with me and I wondered if anyone had any experiences to share.
Following my last post re my not having depression, or BPD, or being a victim of abuse or anything like that, I had a few months trying to decide whether I was a person who could ever change, who could function correctly within society or ever experience true, proper, non manipulative emotions. Having decided the answer was no, I ended up getting some medical attention in hospital earlier in the week and yeatersay spoke to a nice experienced psychiatric nurse (who was not freaked out by the absence of reason, or crying, or the fact I was not an emotional wreck) who suggested a new kind of "therapy" he thought could actually help me.
He said it was psychoanalytic therapy- which obviously I've since googled ;-) I should stress i am ready to engage with this. I am obviously cynical however the reason I took the thought out, considered choice to end my own life was because I had reached the end if my tether. I can't cope with the person I am so if there is a genuine possibility of altering myself in some way, I want to try it.
Has anybody had any experience? As I say, read all the general internet stuff bit obviously that is never a match for personal experience.
Thanks in advance.
