Let's get one thing perfectly clear here, I am not writing this for attention, I am not writing this for sympathy or anything that might appear me as the victim. I am NOT a victim in life. I am just me. I write this because some followers and people I know deserve to know the truth. I write this because I want to look back on this as a good memory and see what type of person I was.
Here is the thing, I was born with ADHD, I developed Cerebarl palsy, yes I have MILD cerebral palsy. I also have been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and sucidal ideation.
But my struggle over the past few years has been accepting and living with my personality disorder. Yes I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder and that's the last time I will say that on this blog because I am not proud of it actually I am ashamed of myself for having it...
So Why ?
Why am I telling you all of this?
I am telling you this because a new development has happened I have been offered not a physcologist, not medication (well I'm on medication) not any magical answer, but I have been offered dialectical behaviour therapy the gold treatment for people with this disorder. I have been told I am so lucky to be getting this. It's part of the reason why we moved because Midlothian (the region in Scotland I stay in only offers it in all of Scotland) and normally I would have to wait one year but a space opened up.
I get given a sheet for the week and write down imhowni was feeling and what triggers me off and what skills I used. I then attended therapy with other people with the same diagnoses and talk about how I was feeling. I then meet my CPN and talk about how I am. So I am grabbing this with my two hands. This is my shot. I will say goodbye to my anger, my paranoia, my avoidant behaviour, my black and white thinking, my outbursts my sadness and being on the line....
2016 is a very good year for me. I have DBT I have my driving lessons, and I have my dogs. I also have my wonderful amazing girlfriend who wants to help and my family near me. I am the only one who can make this work and only me can make myself fail. But I won't fail. It's time to grow up and it's time to be stronger and support myself emotionally and not depend on others to regulate my feelings. To those other people I am so sorry. Please forgive me and please keep hope for me. 2016 is the year I get better.
Thank you love Steven .
That's great Steven :) Your'e finally given a chance to move forward properly. It's important that your'e always honest in life. With everything you do. (there's a difference between being honest and being an asshole though haha) But I'm happy for you. And I gotta say, Kimmi is a great support of you huh? I'm glad she stepped in when I left.
ReplyDeleteAs long as your'e completely honest with your feelings too then you'll be fine. Remember to tell them at dbt everything. Even the things your'e ashamed off.They'll be able to help you a lot better then :) Good luck with everything. I hope 2016 will be the year filled with happiness for you, and lots of smiles and laughs. Remember to tell the ones you love that you love them!
