Just wanted to take an opportunity to introduce myself to those who don't saunter over to the internet travelers lounge. I just left a more detailed message over there asking for introductions from others, help meandering around this site and just some good 'ol fashion conversation. I've had BPD since adolescence, but didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult. My life has been extremely tumultuous... full of hardship, heartbreak, heartache, drug addiction, legal problems, abandonment, death, bankruptcy and on and on and on...and for the first time I feel like I'm getting some kind of control of myself, my life, my actions, my behavior, my attitude and most especially, my feelings. For so long my emotions ruled every aspect of my life, without any regard for consequences. And believe me...there were consequences. Everybody has to pay the piper. This is not to say that all of a sudden I have everything under control, just that I think I'm finally on the right path to having some control. Everyday is a battle to keep myself in check...my temper, how I spend money, how I treat people, staying physically healthy by eating right and exercising daily, expressing myself "appropriately". I think that getting things out is just so important, which is one of the reasons why I sought out a place like this on the internet. What a great tool we have hear to vent and get things out constructively....and then get feedback! Awesome!

I kinda rambled on there a bit more than I intended to, just wanted to put myself out there to invite you all to engage in a little coffee talk with me.

Back to the Jungle. TgrsPurr.
