I asked "Do I Open This Door?" and it was not a choice. The door opened for me. It opened quite fast, and it subsequently shattered the shoddy foundation my life was built upon at the time. I remember some of what happened to me as a child. There's still so many memories that I know are hidden...

So today, I talked about Conversion Disorder with my cousin, and she proposed that I research it and see if it fits anything. I have many people in my family who have dealt with mental health and are educated about it through experience and schooling. She informed me that my brother has told her...

About a month ago, I blocked all family on social media. I would hesitate "should I share this?" "will my mom call me right after I do?" "will it offend anyone" on, you know, my social media accounts. Right now I'm in the process of building up my social media platforms to hopefully start making...

I have a huge disconnect when it comes to how I think other people perceive me. I feel like they understand the things I understand. Because of past emotional abuse and such a strict mom with her own trauma, this is the filter, or the disconnect, that I have: I understand that when I do...

This past Saturday was my cousin's big 420, "weed's legal party" in Maine now type of thing. My brother lives with this cousin, and my mom brought up more furniture for me, and then picked me up and we went there together. I don't drink. I don't like the possibility of getting drunk. Never have...

I was diagnosed with BPD when I was 16. Usually people are diagnosed in their early 20's. I was diagnosed by a really old, wrinkly white guy. I didn't even hear the diagnosis myself until I was 18, after a suicide attempt and my mom felt it was then necessary for me to hear it. When I heard her...

Through the midst of recovering possible repressed memories, one of the problems I face while addressing this problem is the fact that I've had, what I've called "episodes," that have been happening recently. First, I smoke marijuana regularly, I find it helps me calm down in certain situations...

I think I was sexually abuse as a child, and I don't know how I want to deal with this or if I should - I want to hear your stories about making similar decisions. Why do I think I was abused: I've never remembered my childhood fully. Of course no one does, but I feel like there's gaps, or a...
