I am very glad to know you are back and doing ok. It was a great blog!! I actually took up a camera and started taking pics because something was going on that I couldn't explain and I was often overcome with the beauty of things. Mine ended up being epilepsy and I eventually had to leave a good career on a disability retirement. I understand the types of medications and coming up and down on doses. I know that taking photos helped me very much, and if nothing else forced me to go for walks in nature and stay connected with others when I did shoots for others. I am very honored that you mentioned the shoot that I did with @ailura I can't tell you how much that means. Thank you very much. And thank you for sharing your blog!!
Holy hell that's a long blog! I hope things improve for you - you're an amazing girl from what I see, and the fact you're still around and trying to improve things for others as well makes you even more amazing. I hope the government department pull their finger out and start getting you the help you need as well!
great blog, glad you have a therapist and social worker you can trust and friends who understand and don't judge and freak out about your suicide attempts. it really sucks to feel so bad you can only die to get away from the pain. take care.
I hope you're okay now, I'm a bipolar sufferer myself. I think you're very very brave, and you've come on leaps and bounds! I understand the turmoils myself, silly little everyday things can sometimes be the hardest and most frustrating. I'm so sorry to hear that you were in a coma and that you've suffered as much as you have, you've come through the other side and I'm pleased to read that! Hope you're well, keep your chin up, keep smiling you're doing great! 💖💖💖
I love you so much @salliss I'm so glad I met you and now have you in my life!! You're the most wonderful human being ever & I'm glad you're one of my best friends ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's been a hell of a year, hasn't it. It's a little shocking reading it all. Like it was yesterday. You've bounced back really well and I'm proud of you for that. At first, I was a bit surprised that you were so willing to recount everything and in greater detail, more than I was aware of. But, isn't this why we're here on SG in the first place? It's where we can wear our insecurities, to kick off our shoes and let us be wild again. It took me some time to remember that, but I did and I came back. Just in time for this post too. I always look forward to these blog posts of yours. <3
Massive squishy hugs hun. I'm so glad you had friends around you while you were going through all that. Often BPD (any other mental health conditions) can make us shut ourselves away. It was so awesome seeing you at shootfest, I'm going to have to make an effort to travel down south more so we can hang. Love you xx
I appreciate you sharing this. I have a few friends with a BPD diagnosis, and everyone who opens up allows us the opportunity to understand those that we care about to a greater extent. It's so important that we banish the stigma around mental health and treat invisible illnesses as real. Thank you so much for the shout out! Everyone is making me feel so welcome here. I love the community. :-*
One of the hardest things to admit to yourself (let alone anyone else) is that you have a disability. It's like surrendering an intimate part of yourself. People don't like to be viewed as weak because there's always that risk of being targeted for abuse.
Grr, forgot you can't format on here. It's good to see that your supplier network works enough to see you here again, even if there are more battles ahead. I know you've got plenty of people here if you ever need something.
Thank you for sharing your story of BPD. It's very courageous of you and just as Shaine said, I hope it opens a lot of eyes. It definitely spoke to me. <3 I'm also flattered you included my set in here, thank you! 🙃😊 The funny photos/memes were a good touch :) Really full, great blog
I love you more than anything and I miss you and I feel so disconnected from you lately but that's okay. We've both got life to deal with. Just, don't forget I love you. Never. <3
