welcomemessage

I’ve never been one to speak out on the internet to strangers, not even commenting on things I relate to or understand. I guess because a part of me didn’t understand the point even thou I’m a complete open book (id rather lay it all out there to someone so we can decide if we like each other, because why waste someone’s time). I suppose that’s ignorant on my part. I don’t even know where to begin, in my mind anything I say would be/is rambling and would be too much or not enough. I can go on for hours, especially lately. I can quickly summarize my disorders to wrap this up, I have bi polar 1 disorder, extreme anxiety, (and as my doctor put it) “borderline” BPD (I check off practically every box on the bpd checklist except one), recovering bulima (which yes I am not even close to what I was but from time to time I still purge) and ADHD I was put on meds and into therapy when I was 10.
I’ll leave it at that for now, I hope this wasn’t too much. I’m sorry I’m not sure how this stuff works.
Thank you to whoever took the time to read this. #welcomemessage #introducingmyself

Hello, New Friend - I'm Ruth. You'll usually find be hanging around the discussions on #Depression and
#Anxiety . I'm here to welcome you to this safe space! It's a "non-judgment" zone where you can feel free to share even your most difficult stuff ... thoughts, feelings, and experiences that you won't or can't talk about elsewhere. Chances are, there will be at least one other person -- and, possibly, many others -- who totally "gets it" and lets you know you're absolutely not the only one. Even if you need a little virtual handholding, or if you're just looking for a reminder that you're not alone in the world, you've come to the right place.

You'll also find lots of great articles with info and insights across a whole laundry list of topics; I'm willing to bet that you'll find several that are relevant to you and your life right off the bat.

So pull up a comfy chair, pour yourself some coffee, tea, or wine, and dive in. Hang out for awhile and explore the "lay of the land". We're all happy you're here! xo
