A bit of an update...
I'm on Remeron now along with Effexor although I am doing a bit better I am hoping to get off both of them due to bad side-affects.
My relationship with my new boyfriend is going super well. He is very understanding of my odd moods and habits and understands my need to go slow. With his awesome support I have been able to go over an entire month now without cutting or any other self mutilation! :) He is helping me find other ways of expressing my mental pain through things like painting. He has been an absolute blessing and I am forever grateful for him. Without him I know things would be a lot harder for me right now.
I finally got into a psychiatric program and had my first vist the other day. My bf went with me for support and I was assessed by a psychiatric nurse. She thinks I am have several personality disorders along with something else that I can't remember the name of. The waiting list for a psychologist here is six months but I'm getting in to see a psychiatrist within two weeks so I guess it must be serious. They are also going to put me into a year long program that involves a team of psychiatrists, psych. nurses, counselors and other medical professionals. I am now waiting for them to call within the next few days so I can get started with all of this and also get my meds changed.
It is such an enormous releif to know I will finally get the help that I so desperately need.
I'm in the process of moving to a new apartment so I can have more freedom and have more privacy. It is a beautiful apartment that over-looks the harbour. I also have three darling pet rats now that keep me company. I love them to death. Things have been really hard lately but with lots of support and love I have been coping a lot better.
Just thought I'd give you guys an update. I thank everyone ever so much for all their kind words and support.
much love,
taintedangel
