Hey all

I'm 36 yrs and finally have been diagnosed with bpd as well as bipolar disorder..

bit of back ground, it's been rough since my childhood was shattered by sexual abuse.
As a teenager I never really understood why and what I was feeling, seemed lost in ups and downs, suicide thoughts and self hatred

as an adult I'm more aware of what I feel and think.
today I finally am beginning to understand what's going on in my head and that all the things that have happened inbetween are the causes of a bpd and bipolar and not as it was put in my teenage years just " a difficult child"

it's going to be a long journey ahead but I'm here to learn and understand more
