My name is Leah, I am 22 years old and I was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
When the highs and lows have a name all the dots suddenly connect and there is slight relief.
Silver linings make me smile; so does hazelnut coffee.
I am most comfortable being by myself; doing my own thing with very little input from the outside world. I crave freedom and being 100% completely independent is something I am desperately trying to reach. All good things take time, so I will try my hardest to enjoy all moments and make the best of every situation.
I enjoy meticulous things such as art; the ability to design and create.
Simple things make me happy, like remembering the small details. Remembering that I was once picky with what type of bottled water I preferred; Fiji Water.
Some days my mind is a rabbit hole, I have over 1000 thoughts cycling through my head. People say they can see the wheels turning and I am told I often overthink. Few things can calm the racing sea, but I still believe I have beautiful mind despite the storms.
When I say I understand, I really do mean it even if the emotions do not always connect to the words.
My name is Leah and I have trouble regulating my emotions. I am an emotionless doll on the outside some moments because I stay in the clouds. I am not alone, I am always trying to be better than the person I was yesterday...
