I just wanted to say thank you to every person here. I’ve been struggling with bpd since I was around 15. I’ve been to a therapist probably 2 times since then, I recently turned 18. I’ve always felt so alone, because nobody in my life, (friends or family), understands mental illness. My mom is bipolar, but she still constantly makes me feel like shit for having bpd and ptsd. Ive been isolated and alone my whole life except for my boyfriend, who gets it. 

Coming to this subreddit has made me feel so complete and lets me know that I’m not alone. It brings me so much happiness to know that there’s people out there who feel the same highs and lows that I do, to know that so many people struggle with their relationships, and feel the same things that I do. 

I just wanted to say, thank you and I love you to everyone here. I’ve been having a really horrible time recently, and finding all of you and your experiences and your bad days and triumphs, has made me so happy and I’ve never felt more understood. I hope you all have amazing days. Thank you. 

If this post is kinda hard to understand or it’s wishy washy, I apologize. It’s 4:30 am here, I’ve been up since 12pm and I’ve been alternating between crying, watching kitchen nightmares and eating Frosted Flakes.
