Hello!

My name is Kendall and I joined The Mighty a few days ago because I have a plethora of ideas and thoughts with no proper way of expressing them (yet). Making new friends going through epilepsy is encouraging, as it feels like an isolating experience.

I’m new here! #MultipleSclerosis

I’m here with a new account as my old one got deleted.

I am looking to connect with others who experience chronic pain and who ‘get it’. I have had multiple sclerosis since 2000 and also have erythromelalgia. Always looking for the joys in life!

BPD Check-in

It has been a month since I joined The Mighty and nearly a week since I wrote my first post: Fragments of Me: A Personal Story About My Life with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Today I feel the sudden need to check-in. I plan to do this more often so I can mark my progress and record my thoughts. All of this is to ease my mind and to lessen the burden on the people around me. I've been told that I can be overwhelming because of my constant need to overshare and my inability to let things go. It hurts to hear that, but to be fair, I'd rather people be honest than to lie to me, so I'll take it in with a grain of salt.

I'm relieved to have found a community with individuals that are going through something similar or who are willing to learn more about their loved ones suffering with mental health disorders such as mine. However, I'm still struggling to find balance in my everyday life & I've been finding myself extremely insecure and anxious as of lately.

Alot of it has to do with the fact that next week my boyfriend and I are reaching our one year. We have been fighting intensely for the last few months due to my insecurities and distrust for things that happened early on in our relationship. It reached a point where we started questioning if we should continue on because we were making each other miserable. Definitely not an ideal start to our one year especially when we have a trip planned solely dedicated to celebrating that milestone in our relationship.

The question I have is: As a borderline, how do I forgive and let the past be the past?

Connecting Through My Struggles

I'm looking to connect with anyone willing to share their experiences with depression or difficult times. I haven't found any connections, and I know people don’t always open up on support sites. I want to keep this a safe space for everyone while still staying within the safety of The Mighty site, so anonymity and no judgment are assured. If you'd like to chat, feel free to message me.

Invisible Reflections

I think of you often, lost in thoughts about who you are and what makes you tick. I read about you repeatedly, hoping to understand you better, but then reality sets in—I’m just a nobody in this vast world. At this point in my life, I know I can’t change how I see things; it’s just the way it is. I often feel like I don’t have anything to offer anyone, and so solitude has become my best friend. There’s a certain comfort in being alone, yet I can’t help but wonder what it would be like to share my thoughts and experiences with someone who truly understands. It’s a bittersweet longing, wanting connection while feeling stuck in my own perspective.

#mighty Pets

I’ve been so blessed to have had so many Pets of All Kinds in my lifetime! I briefly tried, but couldn’t live without one!

My Recent Love♥️

This is “Salsa”. She was initially named ‘Samba’, but by the end of the first day together I said “You are no laid-back cool island 🏝️girl! You are one spicy little Salsa 💃!” And at about 1 1/2 years, she fully lives up to her name! Cabinets have locks. Not a lap cat, but glued to me like a barnacle, doesn’t meow-only chirps & trills, thinks she’s a dog & plays like one, loves to drink running water from the faucet, and waits at the door for me when I need to run out! Yes, when it’s time for bed we have our snuggle routine, she becomes my “baby” again, I 🎶 sing to her, then she goes to her bed near me. Guard Cat. I love her to bits!🥰
