Hello everyone!

For some time now I have been reading the discussions here, and today I decided it's time to join in. But, before I do I would like to introduce myself.

I'm a 24-year old female, uni graduate; I traveled around the world, am currently unemployed, and have been in treatment for about 20 months (10 months of which I was abroad and thus not actually in therapy).

I have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, and through schema therapy (J. Young)my T and I are trying to get me to believe in myself more.

When I'm not thinking about therapy (which seems to be a fulltime job nowadays, does anyone else feel like that too?), I am a keen photographer and writer.

Well, that seems like more than enough for an introduction! That was the easy bit... next: opening up about what is really bothering me therapy-wise...

Looking forward to joining the discussions!

Cheers,
Mayflower

Hi Mayflower and Daisy!
Welcome to the forums, I'm really glad you've both decided to post (Daisy, my apologies for taking so long to welcome you.) Looking forward to getting to know both of you.

Mayflower, it's always hard to start talking about the stuff bothering us, but you'll know since you've been reading, this a really safe, supportive place to do so.

AG
thanks for the warm welcome!

I already feel comfortable enough to post, because everyone here is so supportive of each other! Very unlike me to feel so safe so quickly! A safe place indeed.

Can someone enlighten me on some of the house rules? Is it ok for me to create a new thread when something similar has been discussed before (but which is now an old/no longer in use thread)?
