TW: anxiety, depression, BPD, sensory issues, eating disorders, self harm

i have a lot of mental disorders. anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, terrible sensory issues and anorexia. im still quite young and I’m in my first year of high school and things were really rough during quarantine . i skipped school for two weeks and resorted to toxic coping methods like self harm. im so glad the new year at a new high school has helped me, with new friends to make memories with and joining more extracurriculars to make more bonds and be more involved with others. academics have been kicking my ass recently but ive slowly been learning more and even though it’s very disheartening, ive been trying my hardest. every day is difficult with bpd. my mind works so differently than others and nobody understands what I go through on a daily basis. i get exhausted by just laying in bed with my thoughts. ive been through 4 therapists, and I opened up to none of them. my story is not over and im still trying to get better mentally, but it’s progress and im proud of myself.
