Self-Harming -Again

[Baby_Sham]

I'm really sorry to post this again, but I have a specific question I need answering...

I have an appointment tomorrow with a psychiatrist, to asses my mental state. This is a good thing.... but... I'm really really worried about the state of my arm.
I've not 'let up' on attacking it, and it's in a bit of a mess. In fact, I'm pretty sure one of the cuts is infected, despite me using antiseptic wipes on all of them.

My main concern is my kids.
are they in a position to look at them and declare I'm an unfit mother?
I'm not, my kids don't even come into the whole 'self-harming' thing, and I'm far from suicidle, but I'm just worried.

I don't need any advice of the cutting (thankyou :) ) but just on the social services point of view.

Thanks.

[sherrardk]

So pleased to hear that you have got the reassurance that you needed. Hope you are feeling better and that you can now see a way forward, x

I've not been around much lately [a few issues of my own] but have been reading your posts.
I'm so pleased you went and got through today, I know how hard it must have been for you and though I am only an internet stranger I'm really proud of the step forward you have taken.

Much love

So glad your experience was better than you hoped, it sounds like you are going to get the help you need.

Take good care, someone is always here to listen and not condemn.

I hope everything works out for you baby. Think positive.

Divegirl hope you are OK, I wondered what had happened to you.

[Baby_Sham]

Thanks for all the lovely words, you really are such a great bunch and it's been so comforting to know there are people here that, no matter what you tell them, they won't judge you. That in itself is invaluable and what makes answerbank so special. xx

Gness, I am so so sorry for the delay... but the buggers have gone on holiday for two weeks!! Lol

[Dizmo]

I still don't know or understand why you haven't spoken to me. I really must be 'untalkable'.

[gness]

Blimey, Baby! Two weeks?? My lappy will be full of dribble and drool by then....:-(...

Keep well...love Gx

[Baby_Sham]

Dizmo, I responded to your email, I just haven't responded to your texts. It's nothing personal, I just don't like communicating by phone much... as weird as that may seem.
I wish you well, but I think we are a bit of a 'toxic' combination, in that we feed off each others negativity. I hope you understand that it the way I mean it, which is pure kindness :)

Gness, I know! Selfish or what!! xx

That's really good news, babysham. A big step forward, which sounds as though it could be very successful. It's nothing to do with being "crazy". You're human like the rest of us. Best wishes x

[Baby_Sham]

Thankyou :) xx

[gness]

Selfish? Not at all.....just think you are enjoying the thought of me dribbling all over the laptop..... :-)...xxx

[Baby_Sham]

Haha I'm really not.... er... honest :P xx

Hi Baby Sham

Only just catching up after my hols - I have no idea what (if anything) I might be able to do to help, but if there is anything, however small, then please get in touch - either here or through FB.

dave xx

[Baby_Sham]

Aww, thanks Dave :) Have you seen my recent 'gym' status updates (FB)? That should give you a laugh :D

Thankyou, really do appreciate it. xx

[DaisyNonna]

Well done Baby. You sound much more relaxed. Many people would have made excuses and ducked the meeting. A brave step forward. Hope your meetings will be productive and that you will soon be at ease enough not to need to harm yourself. Wishing you strength and love.

[Baby_Sham]

DAVE!!!! Just got your friend request. You deleted me... you cad! :P xx
