After a year of speculation, I finally found a good therapist and got the official BPD diagnosis on Friday. And I immediately felt so much lighter. There was an explanation for so much that had left me wondering. And then I found BPD subreddits today, and, after one meme, I knew I'd found my people. 

I know it probably sounds weird, but I'm happy to know I have BPD, because I can finally see why I think the way I do. And I'm hopeful I can finally figure out who I am as authentically as possible, outside of my BPD. So I just wanted to say hello. Because knowing I'm not alone in this, that there are people who understand...it's empowering. And makes me feel so much less alone.

Lots of love to all of you! Stay strong! We'll figure out how to thrive, together. ♡
