Introduction ...

Its taken me almost 2 years to finally pluck up the courage to start doing this blog. So finally im here, and i want to start with a little intro on why im doing this.

Well, my name is Yvonne, and im 24. I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder 10 years ago. I also suffer from Self Harm, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, OCD, Emetophobia and severe paranoia and anxiety/panic attacks.

The main reason for me doing this blog, is for me to have a way of putting everything that i have felt and still feel onto a white canvas, and be able to look back on it at different stages. Also another reason, is to try and help with the stigma that is surrounding mental health at the moment, also to help someone who is in the same or a similar position, or even to advise a loved one of someone who has any of these illneses.

I want my blogs to be as honest as i possibly can be, and in no way do i want to upset or annoy people with what i say, i only want to put my side over, and if i can at least help one person, or change one persons opinion, then i will feel satisfied with what im doing.

I may post each day, or each week, depending on how i feel things are going.
