Recovery

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I thought I'd share my story.

I grew up having a series of traumatic events in my childhood followed by SA and addiction. I only got diagnosed last year around the time I turned 18.The hardest thing for me with my mental health was committing to getting help. A lot of the time I had no trouble reaching out, but once a mood swing had passed or I had a good day, I would tend to ghost therapists and mental health professionals because I thought I was 'fixed.' It took me a long time to be able to accept that I needed long term help and since then my life is definitely still full of ups and downs especially with my BPD and I feel great some days and really horrible other days. I just want to say as well I think its important to remember that there is so much stigma around borderline personality disorder but a diagnosis does not determine who you are as a person if that makes sense? sorry for the rambling, but that is my story in the simplest way I can explain it.
