Let's get the ball rolling!

Well, hello! So this is a place where people can chat about mental health and discuss anything you feel like. From what makes you sad to what makes you happy. 

So to get this started, I'll go ahead and say that recently after battling the wonderful thing called depression, anxiety, and a few other symptoms I have been diagnosed with BPD. For those who aren't familiar with that, it's Borderline Personality Disorder. I look back and laugh since I practically had text book symptoms but it wasn't until I brought up the subject of personality disorders that I was properly diagnosed. Now I'm on medication and I'm seeing a therapist every week! While it doesn't exactly help all the symptoms, I have gotten a lot better. Last year had been a horrible year for me and even though this year has gone... shitty I can say that I'm handling it a whole lot better than I would have.

I am incredibly sorry to hear you've been having a rough two years.
Honestly, that breaks my heart.

I have anxiety and depression, as well. So, I can relate to you there. But I cannot imagine what being BPD is like.
I think I've gotten better from how I've used to be, on a positive note. But I am so glad to hear that you are handling things better now, too.
It is a goal in mind to achieve a career in Psychology/Counseling and eventually become the type of person people who struggle with things can come to and feel very safe and open.

As such, I'd like to go ahead and put myself out there and say...If you ever need someone to just vent to and let everything out or even ask for advice, I'm more than fine with being a listener and trying to help you. Granted -- I am not a professional (yet!) but I will always try to help you with anything that you need help with. ❤

Where do I start? I was diagnosed with autism at age two, and by my teenage years, I started to have a lot of depression due to being bullied so much because I was different. I was a smart girl, yes, but the way I was treated had brought my self-esteem down during my middle school years. I had so much trouble focusing in school because of my depression, then I started to develop a lot of anxiety as well. It was as if I was afraid of being urged by others, so I hid it; kept it a secret because I didn't want to face any more bullying again like I did when I was a child. I had some trust issues because of how people had treated me. I just try so hard and it felt like it wasn't enough to make friends. Now that I'm 24, I don't let anyone push me around anymore, despite being stuck with his disorder for the rest of my life even though I struggle with this along with my depression and anxiety.

In other words, I know how you feel when it comes to having depression and anxiety. It's really not any fun, but I am here for you anytime you want to talk.
