New here

Hi guys. so im new here on this platform ive been struggling with memories from my past and suffered with PTSD. Ive just been diagnosed with BPD from my abuse and abandonment issues from a young age. Im in my mid 40s now feeling my body aging, not sleeping my brian doesn't stop thinking. Feeling tired all the time with life. I work in an aged care related field and that causes some triggers of depression too. I do the same thing over and over again like ground hog day doing this due to the pressures of cost of living. Anyway wanted to see how others are doing feeling this way.

Hello and welcome @Pru19 it's great to have you here

I've just moved your post to its own thread so that it's a bit more visible to those who might be going through something similar, I hope that's okay.

Re: New here

Hey @Pru19 ,

Welcome to the forums. Thank you for sharing a little about what you are going through.

I have BPD, but I can safely say I'm in remission. I've had it for a long time, and it was certainly tough. I just to liken it to an emotional child trapped in an adult's body, and hence my emotional outbursts were so tiring.

Please know you are not alone as you navigate these challenges.

I really hope you find something that works for you.

Do you speak to anyone about the challenges you experience?
