My name is Lynne and I am a 24 year old Female. 

I was diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder 7 years ago, and am actively involved in groups in New Zealand offering support to those with this disorder, I also have my own web site, http://havenofhope.netfirms.com

I do not mind if the questions/emails come from either family or sufferers, I have lived with another borderline and supported her, so have some understanding on the family side and own personal experience

I am a female 24 years old, I don't mind what age I am able to support those who need it.

I am In New Zealand. My diagnosis has affected me badly, at times it has taken control over my entire life. I have received many different treatments, both inpatient and out, and am finding and creating strategies which work for me and others and complying these.... they are on my web site.

I am a self-harmer, so am familiar with that struggle as well as parasuicide.
