New here.

I dont know how to write this out but here goes anyway.

Im new here. 24 years old and have 2 beautiful children.

I have susspected my whole life iv had depression and anxiety in some form and have recently been researching borderline personality disorder and from what iv read and compared i have some form of that aswell, since i was a teen. Iv suffered from non suicidal self harm more so when i was a teen but have recently self hsrmed again. i haven't been diagnosed though. Its a very scary daunting thing to go to the gp and ask for help but i am so much closer to just making the appointment and getting help.

I want to feel like part of a community here... is that what its like on these forums? Im terrified of being judged and rejected.

Thankyou to those who have read this. Hope to hear from someone, have a chat with some maybe?

Re: New here.

Hi @Kittycorn 🙂 I saw your profile pic which made me smile and wanted to come by and say hi. I noticed you have 2 kids (a preschooler and a baby?) and thought I'd mention that we have a live discussion here on the forum tomorrow night about parenting with mental health challenges. You can find some info about it here if you're interested. I'm going to try and get along to it as I have kids also and live with mental health challenges. It can be difficult sometimes!

Great to hear you have started the process of seeking support through your GP and a psychologist. Also great to see you here where there is lots of understanding and support. If you have any questions about the forum or how to use the forum/where to go etc. please ask - there is always someone around who can help 🙂

Looking forward to seeing you around.
