Only just found this!

So I joined not long ago, but I just found this and am way too excited not to introduce myself.

Hi there, I'm female, 22 and live in Australia. I'm BPD with anxiety and depression thrown into the mix. I prefer not to identify myself as this, but I figured it's sort of important on this forum lol.

I have 2 cats called Google and Bentley and aspire to one day be a cat lady. I study at uni and am trying my best to get into med so I can work in psychiatry. I want to really make a difference, because psychiatrists are from my experience, not that great. They are all about labels and drugs. I want to break that mould and just be generally awesome.

I was only diagnosed with BPD pretty recently, and am considered to be relatively high functioning. I'm also an open book, so feel free to ask me anything- I'm on the BPD chat fairly often

THAT WAS SO FUN

Hello and welcome from a fellow Aussie (I've been waiting ages to have an opportunity to use that smilie!)

I hope you find it helpful to be here and get a bit of extra support. I think it's awesome that you are studying hard to get into med school so you can be a psychiatrist. Good luck!
