My name is Alicia and it has been suggested to me in the past by professionals that may have borderline...makes more sense than a previous diagnosis of bipolar, but in reality, I struggle greatly with intimate relationships from husbands, kids, parents or friends. I have been noticing myself pushing away the people that love me most and I really have no deep connections with anyone but my husband who I have been very mean to lately but haven't wanted to act that way. He has ways of triggering me, but ultimately, I am responsibly for my actions and reactions and I am stuck in a cycle of selfloathing and can't see how I can possibly be loveable. Thanks for having me, I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, see how you handle things and getting all the positivity I can.

Hi Alicia! I apologize for the ba-zillion emails you just received. I just wanted to be sure you felt truly welcomed here!

I've found that regardless of the label, if you're aware that your behaviors are self-destructive and want to change, you make the decision to change. Not that you can snap your fingers and change, but that you are committed to working as hard as you can to get better.

Welcome!

Welcome, Alicia.

This is a great place to be to work through your issues. I'm glad you're here!
