Mental health disorders...BPD

Sara

So I have borderline personality disorder.. only a few people actually know this about me. I am a social worker, and actually work on the inpatient behavioral health unit (psych ward).. I'm wondering how many of you have a mental health disorders and how does it affect your daily life?! I want this to be positive and uplifting. Mental health doesn't have to have a negative stigma!

I also have depression and anxiety. Also, BPD doesn't mean you're crazy. Hollywood likes to portrait BPD as crazy women and men. However, I have issues controlling and regulating my emotions.

I should also add I have PCOS, bicuspid aortic valve, and thoracic aortic aneurysm (I need to have open heart surgery to repair my valve and replace the top of my aorta)...so I feel bad for my kids! I hope they get my "good" genes!
