I could write a book about the past 5 years. But in short: I’m an epileptic recovering heroin addict with bpd. today I’ve hit 10 weeks clean &amp; almost 8 months seizure free after my last (of 3) brain surgeries for the first time since April 1, 2016. My bpd kind of took the back burner during all of this, but I (and my partner) knew it was present. I can’t thank my partner enough for the sacrifices he made to help me with the epilepsy &amp; understand, love, &amp; support me with the bpd.

Right now, we’re living separately (both recovering) until we can get back to our original whole selves. 

I’ve got to say, particularly the past few months, I feel going through all of this trauma &amp; pain and rehabilitating has aided my bpd so much. Before I was one to crumble under any sort of pressure &amp; break down. Now, I’ve come centered with myself to brush things off the shoulder &amp; ride by the seat of our pants. I know, cliche but it’s the best way to explain it. 

Another thing I’ve learned is no matter what we all go through, everything is going to be okay. This life is so fucking beautiful. Let’s take advantage of it while we can. The bpd is still there, but the goblin has subdued a large amount. I have off days, but I recognize them before I black out. 

I try not to be cocky about my progression &amp; transformation through my unique experience, but I’m also not afraid to be so.freaking.proud. 

It’s not easy, but it’s possible. ❤️✨
