    What I learnt when I tried to kill myself

    August 26, 2015 / No Comments

    It’s all too easy to glamourise suicide once it’s happened. To pack out a funeral ceremony, dripping platitudes, telling everyone you “wish you’d known”. But if the potential suicide victim “fails”? What I learnt when I tried to kill myself What do you do when everyone knows what you did? By Charlotte Dingle A few weeks ago I joined the same exclusive club as Drew Barrymore, Eminem, Britney Spears and a host of other celebs. Like your average A-list party, there was plenty of booze and a few pills involved. There was a trip to casualty, too – again, not atypical. But this was a party of one. Mired in…

    How Borderline Personality Disorder Put an End to My Party Days (#BPD)

    August 17, 2015 / No Comments

    The negative emotions I have are immobilizing. They crash over me like huge waves, knocking the wind out of me and forcing me underwater. How Borderline Personality Disorder Put an End to My Party Days August 10, 2015 by Harriet Williamson In the summer of 2010, just before I turned 19 and in my first year of university, I attempted suicide with a month’s supply of my antidepressants and ended up in intensive care, breathing on a machine. By my second year, my good-time friends had had enough of me. I was no longer invited out, and became very isolated and increasingly unhappy. I got into an abusive relationship and…

    Psychiatrists’ Fear of Death Linked to Negative Feelings Towards Certain Patients

    July 14, 2015 / No Comments

    While clinicians perceive mood disorders as curable and sympathy-evoking illnesses, BPD patients are considered more problematic, and are held accountable for their suicidal behaviors. Psychiatrists’ Fear of Death Linked to Negative Feelings Towards Certain Patients Around The Web July 11, 2015 A survey of 120 psychiatrists published in Psychiatry Research found that the more psychiatrists fear death, the more negative emotions they have towards people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. A team of Israeli researchers conducted statistical analyses on answers from psychiatrists to survey questions about their attitudes towards death generally and to suicide, and about their attitudes towards patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. “In line with the hypothesis…

    Suicide Risk Often Undetected

    July 14, 2015 / No Comments

    It is noteworthy that every person who completed suicide who had a diagnosis of BPD had at least one previous suicide attempt. Suicide Risk Often Undetected Megan Brooks TORONTO ― Most people who die by suicide have no previous psychiatric diagnosis, new research shows. A single-center study from California found that nearly two thirds of persons who completed suicide during a 3-year period had no established psychiatric diagnosis. These findings suggest that “better detection of mental illness and treatment of at-risk patients may prevent completed suicides,” said Nisha Ramsinghani, DO, from the Community Regional Medical Center, Fresno, California. The findings also suggest that repeated suicide attempts are a “serious indicator…

No Longer Wanting to Die By WILL LIPPINCOTT MAY 16, 2015 2:30 PM In January 2012, two weeks after my discharge from a psychiatric hospital in Connecticut, I made a plan to die. My week in an acute care unit that had me on a suicide watch had not diminished my pain. Back in New York, I stormed out of my therapist’s office and declared I wouldn’t return to the treatment I’d dutifully followed for three decades. Nothing was working, so what was the point?…
