News of Hope

Hello! I have hope. Why, you might ask? Well, let me tell you a true story:

Almost exactly a year ago I was admitted to a psychiatric facility for suicidal attempts/self harm. I was completely unstable. I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depression with Psychotic features, and Anxiety Disorder. I had a history of Anorexia, but at the time was binging/purging . In other words, I was a mess. I had tried several ...

Here is a story of hope and inspiration.

Has anyone ever felt like everything you try to do, everyone you try to please just doesn't see your spark and talent? Well that's me! Every time I would try out for a solo in choir, I wouldn't get it. I tried out for so many singing things and nobody ever accepted me.

I have been writing songs since I was 13 years old. I will admit, ...

I really need to get over the lies my husband has told me since even before we were married. I need to get over some things he has done. I just don't know how.

It is almost like I can forgive in the sense that I won't hate someone who has wronged me, but I will never again trust them and in the end, I opt out of the relationship.

I don't want to do ...

I've always found it to be this cruel irony; on the outside I'm so fortunate, but internally, I have none of the discipline or sense of responsibility one would need to make anything of their talents. In the external world, I've been handed everything anyone could ever possibly ask for to achieve anything they'd ever want. I'm incredibly lucky and I try to remind myself of this often. I'm hesitant to elaborate for fear of ...

How do you note these moments/events?

I have BPD, and so my "on top of the world" moments & "rock bottom" ones come & go so easily. On the whole tho, I feel that I have made steps towards helping myself for example, I go to the gym/swimming regularly in the hope ...

Hello all,

After searching around on here for a little bit, I think that this is the best place on the forum to discuss the topic of coping with and healing from the effects of bullying, being teased and abused.

I am 27-years-old and have been out of high school for 9 years. Still to this day, I continue to suffer from the negative effects of bullying and the different abuses that I experienced all ...

unfortunately, my mother was extremely strict and forced me to eat things I did not want to and prohibited me to eat the
things I wanted. I have always eaten little, especially during my childhood. As an adult, I get almost no pleasure in eating, not even when eating things I like. Sometimes I starve a bit and sometimes I overeat. But usually I ate little than an adult would and i dread to eat ...

Is the hope forum a positive or neutral forum?

I sorry if its a positive forum, cause I aint that positive right now, just need somewhere to let these words out, cause I have emotions that are eating my soul.
