No worries about not finding any info WG. I don't think there are that many places that have a PD service so it's not surprising.
The social worker seemed to think that the psychologist had referred people to the PD service already so he may well have a better idea about it all. Fingers crossed.
I can live with Facebook being addictive - could do with something like that atm xx

Have just seen the psychologist. We had a long talk (basically the whole session) about the personality disorders service. He knew quite a lot about it and it's given me something to think about. Will just wait to see if the social worker come up with any info now. But atm I'm leaning towards not asking to be referred.
I'm starting to worry a lot as we're going on holiday next week. How am I gonna hget away with not eating? Or even with taking the slimming tablets? We're going on a narrow boat holiday so will be in close proximity to each other the whole time. There's no way I'm going to get away with it and I'm petrified of putting on weight. Was gonna talk to the psychologist about this as well but we ran out of time. Really don't know what to do about it xx

Hey hun How come you're leaning towards not being referred? Did the Psychologist think you would benefit from their help at all? Where are you going next week? Was wondering if you might feel differently being away from it all, also being out and about, im sure you wont gain any weight with eating sensibly, you'll need to keep your energy up too or will not feel great in yourself. Have you heard me - i sound like your mum! Sorry, just know what a big impact eating (or not) can have. The break will do you good though, just try not to get too anxious about the eating thing before you go. Have you any other contact with psychologist or anyone else before then to talk over with? We are all here listening hun, and I really do empathise with you over your issues. Take care of yourself xxx

Hi bean,
I'm leaning towards not being referred as after listening to what he said it sounds like it won't be any more helpful than what I have now. He didn't try to influence me one way or the other. He's gonna send me some stuff about the type of work they do and also said that if I feel it would be useful he'd be happy to do it with me.
We're picking up the narrowboat from near Northampton. Going on Mon and coming back on Fri so won't get very far! But DS is soooo excited and it'll give us an idea whether we want to do a longer narrowboat holiday next year.
Don't apologise - you sound much more caring than my mum! I think the only thing I can do is get as much exercise as I can if I'm gonna have to eat. Although, even that's not easy cos of my illness/disability. And there'll be no scales so I won't even be able to check how much weight I'm putting on.
I'm not seeing anyone else this week but I'm thinking of ringing my social worker. We talked about ti briefly yesterday so she has an idea that I'm worried about it.
Oh, and I 'accidently' set myself up on facebook!!! Haven't done much yet but will hopefully get time this evening xx

I know I shouldn't keep weighing myself. But I just can't help it. It's almost like it determines my mood now.
Facebook.....completely addictive. No housework done today lol! Have found loads of people I used to work with - talk about memory lane. One question though - is there any way of telling if any of your friends are online? xx

What a crap day!
Work was sooo quiet it was untrue (although that did mean I had time to go on f/b whilst my boss was out for a while!). Then picked my son up from school and took him straight to the dentist. He was fine with it - in fact he was quite excited (mad boy) but it just meant loads of rushing around. And he's just gone to sleep a very sad boy as I took one of the stars off his star chart cos he was being naughty.
But the worst thing is that my shoulder's started hurting again. In fact it's worse than before. Don't know if it's worse cos I'm using my stick instead of my crutch now, but it's radiating down my arm and at times even my hand is hurting. Painkillers, hot bath etc are doing nothing amd I'm not due to see my friend for a few weeks now. Have just emailed the physio cos I just don't know what else to do. It's driving me nuts.
Social worker called me back this morning and basically she said that she doesn't know what to suggest and to talk to the psychologist. Great - won't be seeing him again til 10th Nov. I'm just gonna have to deal with it and work extra hard after the holiday to lose the weight I put on xx

Hi Wkmmum Is your psychologist available for you to ring him in between appointments, just to check things out? We are all here listening in the meantime hun. Keep talking if it helps. Hope you can get some rest with your shoulder. Luv bean x

Hi
Pm me your name and I'll add you to FB. I'm quite an addict but I think that's cos i'm nosey.
hope your hols go well. Bet DS will love it! And you may too.
Re: weight, maybe use the opportunity to try and put this at the back of your mind? You''ll be in an diferent environment with different things to do - hoep ti's a good distraction.
How''s your shoulder today?
Love
Monica
