My BPD blog - psychiatric hospitals, rehab and more

Hi everyone,
I'd just like to introduce myself, I am a 26 year old female who has been diagnosed many times with BPD (a long with depression and anxiety). I have done DBT, CBT, seen a psychologist who specialises in BPD and many psychiatrists, I have also read countless books regarding BPD. I have had stints in rehab (5 times eek!) for alcohol abuse, I am currently sober, but I did it myself, self detox and all, painful. I have also been scheduled twice to public psychiatric hospitals, scary places. I have been through it all, drinking, bad eating habits, engaged and divorced.... and so on. I have started a blog which I thought I would share with you, it is based on my journey in recovery and little health tips (currently gaining weight myself healthily), advice, stories of my experience, help for wellbeing. Here is the link:

It is just new, so I would love any feedback or if you have any questions about my experiences feel free to ask. I would love to connect with like minded people, people who actually understand my mind.

I would also like to hear what you would like to see posts about, thank you so much

Awww... hello Irene, a virtual hug right back at you welcome to the forum

Hi, I'm a new member as well. In fact, this is only my 3rd post. I'm 26, and was diagnosed when I was 19. I've never really known anyone else with bpd, so I'm with you when it comes to seeking like-minded people to talk to.

Hi Holly, wow it is fascinating that there are so many 26 year old females like me with BPD glad I'm not alone. Welcome to the forum, thanks for making contact xo

Whoops, I typed the wrong number. Must have been reading the other ones and had "26" stuck in my head. I'm actually 24.

Would anyone be interested in doing a completely anonymous interview about Borderline Personality for my blog? I think it is so important to get the word out about our way of thinking and behaving and try to get people to atleast get some insight in to our dilemmas, life, goals, actions
