Appointment today...

I had my meeting with Trish at 11.30 and we came to a few agreements.
She has expressed the urgency to deal with the eating disorder, she said it fuels a lot of my behaviours and thoughts and in turn is causing the borderline personality and thinks once I tackle the eating stuff some of the borderline symptoms will (hopefully) have been resolved.
To deal with the eating she is getting in touch with Auckland eating disorder service (at Greenlane) – I went there once last year after being referred by Melodie but (I didn’t know this until today) in my notes from their assessment team they conculded the borderline Was the main issue and the eating issues were a result of me having BPD
However NOW – Trish thinks it’s the other way around and is going to fight my case to get me into to a program with them so I can solely 100% focus on the ed and then after that I will return to Trish and the DBT program to help me learn skills to help with managing my emotions and interpersonal skills

She is going to find out all my options – whether it be an inpatient program or a day patient program or what.

I am to go to my GP this week to get bloods done, then once Trish has spoken to greenlane team I will go for an assessment (again) and go from there

It will all depend on how the assessment goes as to the next step.

We talked about a DBT program which is inpatient in Nelson but she mentioned it’s not funded, we talked about me taking Tuesday’s off work but then again I’m not fully focusing on recovery which is what I really need to do to overcome all of it.

So that’s the update
