I hope it's okay if I still post here, in light of my recent discussion with my psychiatrist about my diagnosis. Nobody really posts in the BPD part of the forum. And I've found the most support here and feel like you all are friends and want to continue posting and supporting people here, so I hope that is okay

So I went to see the new Avatar movie last night with my friend. It was a long movie, 3 hours, I managed to not get up the entire time. It's kind of hard to stay focused for that amount of time but It was really good, I enjoyed it a lot. It was nice spending time with my friend, I got to give them the Christmas gift I got for them and they gave me the Christmas gift they got me (some paint brushes for painting miniature figures for board games)

Going grocery shopping today. Then have to stop by CVS to pick up my meds.

I'm plannig on working on my DBT skills then when it gets about 1 month away from the beginning of registration for the fall semester at my college, I will reassess and see where I'm at mental health wise and whether I'm ready to take on the stress of going back to college part-time, taking one or two classes. I don't want to jump into things when I'm not ready. That is a bad habit I had in the past. Jumping into taking a bunch of classes, getting overwhelmed and having to withdraw, etc. I want to be 100% sure I'm ready for this and in a good place mentally when I do it. I'm determined to finish my associates degree. I just need to prepare and work on my stress tolerance and learn to use supports at the college like tutoring, and use my accomodations (can take tests in a quiet testing center away from the main classroom, have extra time on tests) etc. My doctor writes a letter to my college so I can have these accomadations and I need to use them.
