i dropped out the first time my freshman year after very seriously intentionally overdosing during an episode, was kicked out by my abusive parents parents twice after that, dropped out again, and finally started over for the third time with my major changed to social work - still with many many MANY awful bumps along the way. getting through college with bpd has been the hardest thing i've ever done in my life and i never ever thought i could do it but i just graduated summa cum laude :-) i literally cannot believe it but i'm really proud of myself and want u to know u can do it even if u fuck it up 50,000 times along the way.
