Hey so I’ve been overthinking everything lately, I have a BPD diagnosis and then a load of random issues, I struggle with an eating disorder still despite being “in recovery” from anorexia for five years now, I have OCD tendencies which are pretty on and off depending on my mood, and am recently sober after a long period of alcohol abuse. I feel like this cocktail of mental illness is just me being an attention seeker and there’s nothing really wrong with me. I feel like I had a difficult childhood, my family have always been a bit nuclear, my sister who I was very close with took her own life several years ago and I’ve had a difficult journey as a queer person. I feel like other people have had it worse so why am I such a f up?

Does it all stem from the BPD or am I just an imposter? Does anyone else feel like a “faker” sometimes?
