Today i had a good session with my phych and we did a meditation session which was really relaxing and went really well i think. Im on the right track on combating this illness head on. Even though ive got borderline personality dirsorder and dysthymia i try and think positive every day and today has been a good one. Only set back is my impulse buy of a few dvds. Thats the borderline kicking in i think. Hope everyone else has had a good day x

Hi Chloekat

I'm glad you had a good session with your psych.  Meditation is very relaxing. Sounds like you had a positive day.

Take care

Hey Chloekat84, that's great about your session with your psych >=:) I am right with you there on impulse buying, I try to not go into JB Hi-Fi because I'll end up coming out with 2 Blu-Rays and 3 cds! o_O that place is addictive! the thing is I buy online from them because alot of the cds or dvd/bluray that I want won't be instore at my nearly shop. 

I have 3 movies on the way in the mail, one is a gift. the other 2, The Mission with Robert DeNiro & World's Greatest Dad with Robin Williams. funny how you can miss someone who wasn't in your life, I mentioned being sad about him dying to my shrink a week ago. in 2012 I went nuts when I found out there are Lord Of The Rings collectibles by the people who made the movie o_O I spent thousands! I've slowed down now because I have no more room! ha ha though I'm looking forward to Faramir being released next year.

remember take one day at a time, I need to heed that advice myself. one day may be bad but the next will be better >=:) BB

dear Chloekat, excuse me if I have got your history wrong, as to try and remember everyone's history can be quite difficult, but if mediation works for you then that's great, I tend to fall asleep, mind you I could sleep any time of the day and anywhere.

I just wonder whether this impulse is related to OCD, as I'm not sure whether you have it or not, but it's something that a person with this illness can do.

Have you googled borderline personality/ OCD as it's very interesting. Geoff.

Hi Geoff. I have borderline personality disorder but when i was younger like a teenaer my gp thought i have ocd as i have rituals and do things a certain amount of times like people with ocd do. I havent googled it together but my gp seems to think i dont have it as i would be doing things a lot worse than i do so i duno. The impulse buying isnt always a problem but when it strikes it does with force.

Yeh i did Jo thanx 🙂

Yes BigBunny JBhifi is addictive thats where i ot my dvds yesterday! evil place lol. Im not much of a lord of the rings fan but love my horror and certain TV shows so i know what its like to give in when ur trying to be strong. U just want something thats going to cheer u up for a bit while ur watching or listening. Even though its not long it cheers u up for that short time. Its hard to resist i know but im trying. Well thats it for now. Take care x
