Perhaps an introduction is in order

Hi there

My name is Ida, and I'm nearly 23 years old. I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Currently I don't have a job, nor am I going to school. I just get paid for following my therapy, and talking to a 'mentor' once a week. I have my own apartment, sadly with no animals to keep me company. I'm a cat-person.
In my spare-time, I enjoy playing football (soccer). I'm a goalkeeper. I also enjoy playing computer games, and spent the most of my time in front of my computer.

Twice a week, I'm at the hospital. It's a planned hospitalization, because I used to create LOADS upon LOADS of drama. Now I have enough self-awareness to avoid that.

I'm seeing my DBT therapist twice a week, and next week I begin in group-therapy.

Until this Monday, I haven't cut in over a month. But had a relapse Now I'm at day 1 of no self-harm. Luckily my therapist is great, and told me to hold me head high, because it can happen to anyone.

Besides the Borderline, my therapist thinks that I suffer from PTSD and I believe that I have OCD. Pure-O.. But that's another story, for another board..

I also have a blog, where I post my poems and updates on my life. Sadly it's in Danish, so I don't think you guys would appreciate a link.

Now there's nothing more to say, than take care. And if you've got any questions, any at all, just ask them. And I'll happily answer them.

Love from Unio.

I am also borderline and have PTSD. I know cutting can be difficult to stop. It is addictive.

About my disorders, I have found that being self-aware does help, even if it's not immediately apparent. Atleast I know why I do what I do, and that helps to control my behavior a bit.

Welcome to the board.
