Hello, I'm new to PC. I have been lurking quite a bit, but not saying much for the past week. Just observing and taking in other people's thoughts and their stories. I hope to share my stories/advice and get feedback from you all as well. I have a history of depression and anxiety since early adolescence, and I am now 22 years old. I have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. I also have drug dependency issues with pain killers starting when I was 15 and had a bad habit of stealing. I tried to commit suicide about October 3rd of this year. I tried to OD on ambien, and since then I have had a terrible memory. My T says it will come back though. I hope it does. Because of my suicide attempt, I was hospitalized for one week. This was my first time ever being hospitalized, and a patient in hospitalization with me recommended I get on PC and check it out. I'm very happy I did, so far.

I'm open to friend requests/messages, but I can be very shy. Hopefully, it wasn't too forward of myself to post this, but I just wanted to say hi.

Hello and welcome !! It's great that you posted this so we can get to know you. You're definitely NOT being forward at all.

I hope you've visited the Panic & Anxiety forum here as well. The people there are great.

I suffer from depression as well, and have since I was a little girl, so that was MANY years ago --- I'm 63yrs old now. LOL I've been thru therapy, and am on medications now and have been for many years.

I'm sure others will respond too, but again I'm glad you posted! Hope we hear more from you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
