About

You can find thousands of blogs by individuals with borderline personality disorder. The variety, quantity, and quality will vary. I realize that no matter how alone I may feel at times, I am surprisingly NOT that unique regarding my struggles with relationships, motivation, depression, and life.

I have a Masters degree in Counseling and Human Services, and I plan on continuing on eventually for my Ph.D. or M.D. I am intelligent and strong. And yet I have this very dark side to my personality. I am a highly functioning individual with borderline personality disorder, but to those who are closest to me (my husband), the reality of my life isn’t as functional as it appears.

In this blog, you will find a few things. I will provide information from research articles, journal topics and exercises (that I’ll likely be working on myself), tips and suggestions for surviving and thriving, book reviews, links to other helpful resources, and finally – you will see my journey as I start truly tackling this disorder.

I’ve struggled my entire life, and I recently realized (thanks to my education) that my struggle had a name. Borderline Personality Disorder. A disorder that truly affects the core of an individual. I’ve been informed about this for a couple years now, and I’ve been avoiding the topic and the reality of it like the plague. Not anymore. I’m ready to put myself in control. I’m ready to be honest, real, and I’m ready to work.

Whether you’ve been seeking help for years or days, I hope you can find something helpful here.
