In two years I’ve had six diagnoses: generalized anxiety disorder, depression, major depression disorder, bipolar II, adult adhd, and now borderline (which was diagnosed last Tuesday).

I’ve been scrolling through the top posts this week here and on r/BPDmemes and oh my gosh where have you been all my life! It suddenly feels like everything clicks.

It’s one thing to read about your diagnosis online or through handouts your therapist/psychiatrist gives you. But it’s another to learn about your illness through other people’s very similar experiences.

I really want to get better. I’ve been carrying these symptoms and wrong diagnoses for a long time. And I’m so thankful for this community as an additional resource to help give me insights into what’s me, what’s my illness, and what truly sucks.
