I am a strong believer in writing your feelings down as a form of letting emotions out in a healthy manner.
I have tonnes of notebooks and scraps of paper with thoughts and feelings from that specific time, because my emotions change at such a rapid pace that everything can be completely different from one day to the next. I could feel ecstatically happy one day (which isn't very often, but it does occasionally happen) and due to that intense feeling of high emotions, the next day I will fall like a tonne of bricks and can't function in a 'normal' way that is expected of me.
I started writing a book of topics that have affected me, but in a way that I could draw on past experiences in order to shed some light on my views on specific issues that people deal with on a daily basis whether they suffer from a mental health disorder or not. However whilst discussing the struggles I am having with committing to my book with a fellow sufferer today, he suggested I try and start a blog and take it from there....
I hope that my insights into the crazy manic depressive life of a Borderline Personality Disorder sufferer can bring comfort to at least one other sufferer in the future and highlight the struggles we have to go through to friends and family of sufferers in order for the disorder to be more understood.
