Hey @bartart23 welcome, glad to have you with us! I'm sorry to hear that things have been so rough for you of late. Well you came to the right place if you want to offload, connect to others, and get some support. Do you also have other professional mental health support at the moment?

Hey @bartart23 ,

 Welcome to the forums. I’m hearing how hard things have been for you recently. I’m glad you have found us.

[bartart23]

How do I handle it? I am crying I hate Bpd I hate my hallucinations I have this eating thing too I have lots of mental health I am very complicated

One step at a time @bartart23 .

I'm not sure everything can be fixed all at once. 

Hopefully, by coming to the forums, you find the courage and strength to help yourself. Recovery is about empowering you to make the changes that help you because you deserve it.

People on the forums and around you can sit with you, but the hard work comes from you.

With my BPD, depression, anxiety, disordered eating, I blamed everyone else - until I had the realisation that I was the only one who could help myself.

I hope you find that space and place too. It's a difficult journey, but it's worth it.

You, and only you, can do it.
