I’ll probably delete this but I just needed to share to people that might understand. I feel a sense of validation, a sense of relief that I’m finally going to start trauma therapy. 

I’ve tried CBT, DBT, psychotherapy, and nothing seemed to help. So I was put in touch with a doctor who specializes in treating trauma and I was given the diagnosis today.

Finally I can unpack years worth of junk out of my brain and learn to heal and love myself again. Sorry to ramble I just wanted to share to any other borderlines out there who developed BPD as a result of complex trauma and might be triggered by all the people (especially here on Reddit) painting us as monsters. We aren’t monsters, we are humans doing our best to heal from hurt we received over and over again from other humans. Today I validate myself, what I’ve been through, and I’m ready to free myself from the mental shackles of my past.
