hey there, im new lol, well not really but iv been away awhile and only really just started posting again.
i turned 21 lastyear and i began to panic that i was getting 'older' and was still stuggling like when i was 13.
but there is something different now...i think...i think im really ready to try to change, grow, learn and get better. theres been some tiny but significant change inside me and im finally willing to le go of what needs to be left in the past.
don't get me wrong i am aware that this will be probably the hardest thing i will ever do, but i finally want to stop self harming. really stop, like forever. i want to delve into the depths of my innermost thoughts, immerse my mind in my own soul. figure out how i tick, why i tick and what i can do to change the tempo of the clockworks. learn what i can control, what i can change and learn to accept the rest. i struggle with life more than alotve people i know irl, and thats okay too. im finally willing to forgive myself for being me. to try and like myself....love myself more than anyone else could.
iv recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and while i put little importance on labels, i consider this an important stepping stone in my recovery. it gives me somewhere to start, with processes that have been tried and tested that i may be able to impliment to help myself.
i think the most important conclusion i have come to, is that i am willing to forgive the world for not being perfect. i want to embrace the beauty, endure the dark and come out standing on the other side
and id like to do this with your support, aswell as support all of you on your own journeys, no matter which path they'r on, or how far on that path you are.
