Thanks for sharing @Judi9877 ,

I understand you are probably busy, but if you feel able, you are more than welcome to share your BPD experiences here with us. No pressure though.

@Judi9877 , I certainly hope you get into PARCs. My PARC stays were generally very planned. I knew exactly what I wanted from my stays so I could articulate that to my key workers and work towards it. I do believe PARCs was a turning point for me. It made a huge difference, away from the rigidity of hospitalisation.

Im not sure if you are aware, but within the mental health system (in Vic - not sure about other states), you can create an 'Advance Statement'. They are relatively new but can play a huge part in your care. My advance statement clearly states PARCs is a preferred support for risk minimisation over hospitalisation. My advance statement allows allows me to have a say about my treating team and who I want/don't want. This may be beneficial to you and anyone else reading. From experience, my Advance statement has been very useful for when I have been unwell.

All the best!
