Its long overdue that the UK NHS mental health services are examined more deeply for their poor provision of "Patient Choice" and especially within the  UK (PD)   Personality Disorder/s service supply which is almost shapeless in the UK .

A basic UK survey into this issue  started by mental health users could be getting closer now . An Online survey site has been chosen.

In the UK its become very obvious to sufferers of PD (and various forms of it )  that they are left hanging by one hand on their cliff-edge-feelings of pained extremity... Most are not psychotic but many are internally disabled and left very poorly helped ..

The UK NHS services,  some PD patients  feel , exacerbate their lives and mirror denial and forms of emotional-non-hearing repeatedly ..

In a case in the UK (which will remain anonymous for now)  its clear that a young woman with PD  had an attachment disorder and could not access the pain in it to experience her deeper sense of stored  loss  to resolve that gradually .

Instead she projected her needs overwhelmingly onto the inadequate NHS mental health services who became rejecting of her . They appeared to be very seriously out of their depth with her .

It duplicated senses of early rejection in her and created no emotionally resolving answer in her present . She killed herself . Past and present pain joined explosively .

PD can cover a wide spectrum of human problems mixed into a weave of final expression as dysfunctionalised people who may have  post trauma effects manifesting into their  perceptions and creating very childlike neediness with attendant unreal expectations and powerful over-reactive over attached relational anger .

You could think so easily with some PD folk that you are dealing with a Vietnam Vet who never felt wanted by his own country and his near death experiences were valueless . Stripped of value,  its like a wounded inner child arises . SEE ME SEE ME I WANT TO BE SEEN  !

Soldiers who are "shellshocked" and children who are abused have one thing in common .

They have both been at the "front line" of hyper-distress . Self invalidation becomes rapidly adaptive - with a payment later because the past remembers those who try to forget it before its integrated..

Children when abused or parentally seperated for long enough  survive by dissociation and being "out of their mind and feelings" .   Some become personality disordered adults depending on degrees of exposure to trauma

Soldiers are already adults and are often very damaged by war and front line experience  - they can be,  in post trauma , hyper vigilant,  and hyper over-reactive to their sense of being under any threat  ..

One might say soldiers offer a true route of insight into children  who can take no more pain .

They too sometimes dissociate and the integrity of their experiences jumbles powefully and returns as broken flashbacks with a sense of needing a very telling integration ..But tragic crying is often off limits to them as a resolution and it takes another form of man and woman human-hood to be strong enough to accept personal vulnerability ..

In that vulnerability,  Pain,  with needs to be seen and heard,   combine,   and its right there that you see where all personality disorders join on the fire bridge of trauma  - where deep down screams of HELP MEEEEEEE  belong  .....

How do you quench inner fire  from this kind of major inner anguish left in adults who were abused torn children or suffered discontinuity of crucial care  ?  How do you heal the soldier AND  the child ?

You hear both of them in whatever age they are and present to you .  

War and abuse are almost the same in terms of hyper-threat .    You can hear any part of any soul in extremity to the point of its unbearable grief and staggering survival  - if you are not self alienated and can feel ..

So on that measure what does the UK NHS Personality Disordered services score  ?

It appears more generally they are anti-feeling. Controlling yes , but actually anti self integration.. 

There's no cure for an abusive life but there is a way to create a habitable place for hearing . Mourning . Tragedy .. Grief .  That's news forever and not to be forgotten .

Inner fire is only doused by receiving the hearts tale . And that must swell in the eyes.

Personality Disordered people anywhere in the world need to cry and integrate their life tale . They suffer from reality being dammed and dammed again  and the struggle they have  to be heard  continues ..

For David  and Kate .

Mortal Acceptance


A space angel landing told me

All moon wings

Bring all your lives and their tales

To the star kings

For on Earth
With imperfect Boards and Lords

Nothing Child is survivable here

That is ,

Apart from a Time God's tear
