Hellooooo. I am diagagnosed with borderline personality disorder and recently lost my mother to a tragic fire so also dealing with a bit of trauma from that. I've had a lot of issues through my life which has been caused by my bpd, I have also had a lot that caused my bpd. Hope that makes sense. I have dealt with substance abuse and self harm. But seemed to have overcome that at present. Hope to meet other people to try and support and listen an d to share.

Hello how is everyone tonight. tonight

Hey all,

Just quickly introducing myself! I’m living with C-PTSD and I’m Autistic. I also am a wheelchair user. I am an occupational therapist currently working with unhoused folks which is great but also deeply emotional and draining, especially when I have also experienced being unhoused and many of the traumas my clients have experienced too. I’ve done a lot of therapy over the last decade or so and overall cope a lot better than I have previously, but still struggle at times (honestly, currently it’s been a bit weird NOT being so depressed when it’s been so deep my whole life - bit of a weird loss almost of identity itself?? Hard to explain. Nirvana put it best with “I miss the comfort of being sad” lol). Hoping to find some connection with folks here as well as share my own wisdoms of lived experience as I find that is healing in its own right. Thanks for having meee ❤️

Hi everyone, my mental health awareness journey began after I experienced a seizure in 2009 and my behaviours and perceptions changed significantly afterwards. C-PTSD, borderline personality disorder, depression, generalised anxiety, ADHD and ASD are parts of my day-to-day, and I've explored a range of different one-to-one, group and in-patient therapy programs. I'm getting better at catching automatic reactions and allowing myself the grace to unmask - being considerate of others is important, but I don't need to punish myself for being authentically me either. I hope to learn and grow in this space!

I haven't been logging in the last couple of weeks, had a lot of stuff happening so I've missed some notifications from you guys.
Thank you for checking in with me @Noblegnosis
I'm still not used to the kindness and genuineness of being included and welcomed..
Thank you
