March 2nd Update
I am taking part in Project I Am Not Ashamed. On August 18th, I’m going to stand downtown with a sign saying “I have Borderline Personality Disorder traits and I am not ashamed” I told my husband and my sister. They both said that they would never do it, but that they support me. I’m […]

My Son Talked to The Attendance Counsellor!
Yesterday, my son saw the Attendance Counsellor at the school, by himself. And he actually spoke to her. Before, we’d see her at home at the kitchen table. He’d sit sideways with his head down and his hair in front of his face. He wouldn’t speak to her. He’d just nod or shake his head […]

My Son Went To School!
Yesterday, my son went to school! Well, not regular high school, but for him it was a huge step! He only needed to stay until the tutor left after lunch. If he wanted to he could stay until they closed at 2:00. I went to check on him after lunch and he said he wanted […]

A Late March Update
My son just turned 15. His grandmother came over and he opened some presents. He got mostly what he wanted – some DVDs and some gift cards and candy. My husband and I celebrated our 20th anniversary. We had a very quiet day. He got me a teddy bear and some chocolates. For our 25th, […]

A Presentation and A Health Scare
Yesterday, I did a presentation on Borderline Personality Disorder at one of the out-of-town centres. Only a couple of people from the out-of-town centre took part. Other than them, there was me, my Peer Support worker and a friend who goes to my in-town BPD group. I was a little disappointed at the small turnout. […]

A Birthday and an Anniversary
Saturday was our son’s birthday. He turned 14. His grandmother came over and we watched him open his presents. He got a video game and some movies about superheroes (just what he wanted), and some candy and a few other things. Then he went out with Grandma for a little bit. He likes to go […]
