Hey,
Im new to this so dont really know where to start. I have been wanting to post my own blog for a while now, so for my first post ill just tell you bit about myself.
Well, my name is Leanne im 24, I suffer from mental health issues, this is one of my reasons for starting this blog, first as an outlet, yes I do tend to go on a bit so sorry in advance for that, I dont really have what you would call a "diagnosis", I have had many many tests and tablets.
After I was almost sectioned 2 years ago, I was told I had bipolar disorder, in where I will have and have had many periods of really low manic deppression, in times like this I have self halmed many time, and on occasion have tried to take my own life as I have been at points where I feel that everyone woukd be better off with out me.
And also high point to where I speak so fast no one is able to understand me, in these periods I dont seam to be able to sence dangers, I leave the cooker on, walk straight out in to moving traffic, bassicaly feeling like im the mosf important person on this plaannet and the point where nothing or no one can take me down.
My second thing I was told I have I something called an emotionally unstable personality disorder, im not really to sure how it work although I have been told it works in simmilar ways to bipolar dissorder.
Although I mentionedd all this happening 2 years ago, I first tried to take my own life at 13, so old in my brain yet so young and fragile, I have felt the manic lows and highs for as far back as I can remember, although I have developed coping stratergys and I go outside alotmore than I used to, to be honest most of or best part of my recovery is down to my childern, I have two beautiful and amazing girls one who is 8 and my youngest who is just 5 months old. Those girls are my world and my main focus and or driving force in wanting to battle this. I also have an amazing partner who I have been with for almost 18 months now yes not long but feels like a life time. And his is amazing with me and the childeren he is my rock and to be honest I dont know what I would do woth out him, I know I relly on him way more than he shoud be he is a massive help andd that all I can think of for now vut im syre I will get there when I get used to blogging and I hope to be able to make a difference in changing the stigma around mental health x
