My name's Crystal, I'm a 26 yr old female, and I have borderline
personality disorder. I'd probably be better talking with
sufferers and spouses. I've pretty much been suffering with
mental illness since I was young; I lost my mother to lung cancer when I
was 8 years old and it's been downhill from there. Having BPD
really takes a toll on my life. My husband has a hard time dealing
with me because he's not sure if he'll wake up with a princess or a
monster. I despise going out in public. I've also been
self-injuring for almost a year on and off. I live very far away
from my family, which is good because they're somewhat afraid of me.
My in-laws aren't too sure about me either. I'm a full-time
college student, which is a lot of stress but it keeps me busy.
I'm on a fair amount of medication and seeing a therapist, and talking
to God A LOT. I'm Catholic and I find comfort in the sacraments.
I'm definitely a lot way from "cured" but I'm on the right
road, and I would love to talk with others in the same place. Feel
free to email me and check out my website.
