Hi everyone, my name is Ashleigh. I'm 24, from Australia, and I work in software development (also I'm an undergraduate psych student).
I was diagnosed with BPD a year and a half ago. It was difficult because I didn't really understand it, but it definitely helped me understand a lot of my behavioural patterns of the last decade.
My problem is I like to 'save face' (for lack of a better phrase), and I make out as though my life is great and I am happy, with no issues. I do this in front of friends, family, and my therapist. It is hard because this leaves everyone around me (therapist included) thinking I'm okay. So I guess I need to work on my honesty. I've also set myself a resolution (ergh) for 2016 to be more mindful of my feelings, thoughts, actions, and surroundings. So far its going okay, no breakdowns - yay!
So besides the obvious, I have a affinity for Batman. I am an avid collector and lover! I need more hobbies though.
I don't know if there's much else to say that would be of any interest, other than I love puns, stupid movies, and Doritos. Oh and I joined because I'd like to meet like-minded people who understand the crazy and tumultuous feelings I have.
