i was diagnosed borderline when i was 16. and when you spend most of your life thinking you wont make it to 18, you dont really plan your life that well. i messed up a lot of my life in a destructive cycle. never had a plan after 18 as mentioned. and i spent the 3 years from then to now making a lot more mistakes trying to catch up to everyone. all it did was leave me in debt with no real purpose. well, i have spent the last two weeks working on getting my health back in order, started birth control that wont throw a ring into my newly set schedule, and getting little things fixed that i had ignored for so long. my teeth will soon be fixed and i start new medication tomorrow. my point is, even if you feel hopeless. you will bounce back. even from the lowest point. it will all be okay. YOU will be okay.
