Also need to add to my previous post: I see self harm is another criteria I meet. I've hit arteries and had multiple infections from self injury, once losing pints of blood and needing surgery to repair the blood vessel.
I've also failed to commit long term to CBT and DBT and have a history of abusing prescription medications, alcohol dependence (hospitalised for alcohol toxicity and resuscitated twice during that night). Had multiple suicide attempts, once of which was near-fatal.
Held against my will numerous times in psychiatric hospitals. Addiction to self injury, cannabis and nictotine are currently present. Also have huge difficulty managing money and am in thousands of pounds worth of debt and this week I am going hungry as the payment for my online food shop (I can't go shopping in person, I find that too intense) was declined due to insufficient funds.
