Exactly! I hadn't realized the extent of my own stigmas surrounding mental illness. "Diagnosis" sounds so ominous and it felt difficult to hear at first so maybe that particular verbiage is a part of the stigma. My diagnosis is an invaluable tool that has been a mind-blowing game-changer. So many things make sense now. Thank you for your comment and sending love right back atcha.
Totally get it. I stood in my own way for years because of my own hang ups. The "work" isn't really ever done, but it gets so much easier when you start to master it.
Thank you Monica for sharing. I am so happy to see what you're up to. I miss you very, very much. I hope you find more answers than questions in this new chapter of your life. As a person with my own mental illness struggles, I personally find with a label to my thoughts and emotions, that I am able to help myself more often than not. I hope you find that too. <3
Hey YOU! So happy to see you here. I think of you often and hope you're doing well. Your insight into mental health is invaluable here and I hope you feel moved to share more in the future. All the love!
<3 Ask away. I'll share anything, especially with you. I think of you often as well, especially during work at my new job. Really happy to hear from you. Can't wait to see what is next.
The diagnosis is scary, but it's the start of working out what the issues are and how to deal with them. Having had my own experiments with therapy in the last couple of years, I've realised that I'm not yet in a place where I feel safe enough to share the things that matter with anyone - so congrats on being much further down the road to health and happiness than I have so far managed :-)
I’ve missed reading your words here on ye olde interwebs, Monica. ❤️
I've missed exchanging comments with people and am ridiculously excited to read this one. Thank you so much for reading!
I missed your writing so much, Monica! Welcome back!
Thank you for always reading, Iris.
I know this is daunting, but with this you now have the tools to a happier future. Sending you a lot of love, lady.

Also, "diagnosis" sounds so terminal.... we need a new word, LOL
I personally would never diagnose you as borderline, but I am not a therapist. Love you ❤️
Love you more.
