I'm new here!

Hi, my name is louisia. I'm here because I would like to talk to someone older than me who has lived with my disorders for a while. I am looking for tips on how to manage it. I have a long family history of bipolar and borderline, and my psychologist and doctor has started an investigation into diagnosing me by the time I turn 18.
