I was diagnosed a year ago at the end of a long hard college semester where I was getting maybe 2 hours of sleep a night, wandering around campus alone at night, and having unstable relationships. I had been in therapy on and off since I was three, but therapists always said I just felt sad sometimes or angry but it wasn't anything unusual. 
So I finally went into counseling at the Student Health Center, it was free and It was amazing to hear about this disorder I'd never heard of, but I finally related to something, and for borderline to relate is a pretty big deal. I ended up checking into an inpatient mental hospital for a week after a suicidal episode and it was the scariest moment of my life. Id always accepted therapy, but after being in the E.R. for seven hours, I realized I was worse than I was admitting. 

So what's you all's story?
