    I have to go and talk to my head of year tomorrow about some problems at school. I would talk to my student support officer but he is off for a few days.

    Feeling really sorry and down with myself 🥺 found out got to have Hearing aids and now my ED worker is off sick and they’ve cancelled my appointment on 8th June as they don’t think she’ll be back .
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    This may be a long one (sorry in advance)...

    I have borderline personality disorder (BPD or otherwise known as emotional unstable personality disorder (EUPD)) and I develop really quick emotional connections to people in mental health. I am currently undergoing counseling (I have had around 5 sessions so far) and I feel a really good connection with the counsellor (we'll call him A), I'm able to feel comfortable and open up and it really does bring my mood up after speaking to him. He has been on annual leave for the past 2 weeks, and my next session with him is on June 11th (around 2 weeks time). I'm struggling a great deal being away from him as he is my favourite person (https://www.borderlinetalksback.com/post/what-is-a-favourite-person). I've been able to access other services for the time he is away, however I have now grown an attachment to another worker (we'll call him B) from a different well-being service. I have spoken to this worker 3 times, and he is definitely my favourite person now alongside my regular counsellor.

    It's really difficult when my favourite person ends up being someone I'm not able to contact in my own time, and although as silly as it sounds, I have a great deal of jealousy knowing they speak to other people. My emotions have been through the absolute roof and I have been hospitalised 3 times in the past 2 weeks due to this intense emotion.

    Last night I was wanting to speak to B but I couldn't as he was busy and it really got me down and I was starting to spiral. I'm putting this out here to wonder if anyone else has gone through a similar thing and if not, I just need a hug!

    Sending love and support to everyone this weekend <3

    The cool face didn't mean to be there, ahaha. I said we'll call the other worker B

    My dad just asked me if I’d get a sleeve tattoo for my scars. I don’t know how supposed to feel about that. Is it just general question or is he ashamed

    I think that it was just a general question although it sounds like he asked it in a way that was very insensitive so I understand why you feel upset or annoyed about it.

    Ah thanks. He just showed me his scar of when he tried to kill himself and was saying he wanted it covered but can’t because he still doesn’t have feeling in two of his fingers

    Both. It feels like a lot too quickly but I'm also enjoying it.

    I’m just so tired and struggling tbh. And don’t understand why.
