Hi everyone,

i have this need to get a sense of my life story in writing- its easier here than in a journal cuz those stress me out.. im22, and this year i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and a few days ago PTSD. i feel so overwhelmed bc one side of me is popular outgoing and happy, i organize events and volunteer in a crisis center. then theres the me who depends on people for attention and self-worth.. ive been hospitalized three times this year for suicide ideation and once for a car accident.. recently ive been feeling worse so that my two lives began to overlap.. its scary for me that my closest friends now know about my problems cuz i never shared anything personal.. now i have to start getting therapy for PTSD after being sexually abused and its scaring me to death.. if anyone has any advice for me id love to hear it.

love, sarah o

Hi sounds like you have been through a fair bit! I'm new here but it seems like a pretty good place to start and bounce things off others. If your ever up for it I'm happy to chat. I can't relate to everything you have been through but some I certainly can! I find the more I talk the better I feel so try and open up and be as honest as you can and I hope it brings you some comfort.
