i stopped going to therapy six years ago.  i took control of my own recovery and failed miserably.  after a drug addiction and suicide attempt, i decided i needed help.  long story short, i called around and found a counselor at a local church..  i met with her for the first time on tuesday.  within an hour session, she shattered everything i'd ( Read more... )

i know it's not a death sentence.. which is why i'm seeking help. :) it's just a little scary/overwhelming right now. i wish things were as simple as running to the next room to talk to you.. or sitting on the living room floor. i miss you. <3

i've been diagnosed with both bpd and bi-polar disorder and of course depression -and feel like everyone i see tells me something different.
i've been on anti-depressants, mood-stabilizers, and mood increasers but never found any that worked on top of an on-going issue with anxiety. so, like you, i took things into my own hands.
i still go to therapy regularly but i don't take medication anymore. but when i was in a darker place i did need that medication to get me through and avoid another suicide attempt.

i wish i had better advice to give you hun then the common "i know how you feel" but i'm here for you if you need to talk. phone was broke but should be fixed now.

i love you, you're perfect.

Not sure if you remember, but a few years back I was diagnosed bipolar. It can be terrifying, depressing, and relieving all at the same time to find that out. If you wanna talk, you know where to find me. I don't have a lot of answers but I can listen. <3
