It’s just difficult for me to understand how things got so bad and whether or not I’ll be able to recover back to at least where I was 4 years ago. Trying to remember a day where I was happy is pushing it, but at least 4 years ago I was proactive and higher functioning.

If it helps I’ve had a psychotic and mental breakdown a few years back and with a lot of help trying to understand myself I was able to identify BPD. Drugs and alcohol have always been a problem since age 14, but now it’s almost impossible to cope without.
Through medication and therapy I only have traits now. Four years ago when I was diagnosed was a really rough time in my life. My son was diagnosed with autism and it made me feel like a bad mom because I had trouble coping with him. Everything spiralled out of control. It has not been easy these last 4 years but I have made huge steps of progress. Drugs and alcohol have not been an issue for me.
