Thought it would be good to have a thread so will can tell members about ourselves
I shall go first...
I am married with 4 grown up children (3 girls and 1 boy) no grandchildren yet. My kids are all close in age there is just 7 years between them all.
I have always struggled with my mental health and I had always swept it under the carpet. I self harmed in secret and always had constant bad thoughts since as far as I remember. In 2008 I took the plunge and went to see my GP she referred me to the mental health team and I was later diagnosed with Borderline personality disorder. I had never heard of it so I Googled it and that is how I discovered forums. I was a Moderator on a forum for several years and that is what inspired me to make my own forum. I had been to therapy and my therapist was very good, Made me look at life differently. I still have bad moments but not as bad as I was 10 years ago.
I am also partially deaf and wear hearing aids, I have Cerebellar Ataxia which affects my balance and speech.
My life at the moment is good, I have bad days too but more good.
Feel free to ask me any questions and of course share a bit about yourselves too
