... I am Mirelen, a 34-year-old female Borderliner from Germany...
Since March I know about my condition and am trying my best to learn how to handle it. Sometimes I feel much better - sometimes it starts all over again. I do not feel bad about the latter most of the time, as I know it takes time.
In September I started DBT therapy consisting of one personal and one group session. It helps and I get better at it a little bit every day

I have a wonderful fiancee and an incredibly cute 17-month-old son, two great dogs and a cat. We just moved into our own home and everything could be perfect

well as good as it can get ...
Basically it is all I ever wanted and I decided not to find excuses anymore. That's where I am in terms of recovery.
Why am I here?
I want to find my own individual way on how to get better and want to try anything that helps me in actually living my wonderful life!
Many resources are not available in German plus I believe the more different the people, the more different their approaches, the more ideas to try.
Eventually, I would love to help in one way or another to increase awareness for mental ilnesses in our society. Mainly to prevent more and more children and teenagers from developing this disorder due to a growing number of unhealthy emotional environments.
Thanks for providing such a platform and I am excited to be here!
Mirelen
