I am 21 years old, I finished my certification to become a vet assistant. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in winter of 2017. I love animals and spending time with my friends and family. This blog is about my life up until this point and the struggles I've gone through. It took psychiatrists and therapists three years or a little more to diagnose me correctly and for the longest time no one knew what was wrong with me. I want other people to know it's not just you, it isn't all in your head and it does get better. I want people to be educated on this illness to be able to help their friends or significant other who suffer from it. I want people to know more about it. That it's very real and to take what your kids say seriously. Get them help when and if they reach out. If they don't, recognize the signs and do something. This is for everyone. Ask me anything.
