Mini-Profile
My mind always goes blank when having to write an account of myself, I hate it! I shall endeavour to summarise.
I am 25 years old and struggle with Borderline Personality Disorder it has made a train wreck of my life. I came from a good-natured family with strong principles and it was planned I would get the best grades attend university,greaduate and have a good life with a good circle of friends doing a job I love.
However when I got to university I had a mental breakdown due to trying to hide my condition and was back home for a year. I tried working as a waitress in a private hospital for 3 years, rented my own place, got hugely ripped off and sretched the rent over credit cards which has landed me in the shit financially over the next few years. I managed to pay off the debts last year but got another breakdown, my nerves were shot. I took a long time to leave the house just to get the paper or coffee because I was terrified of going outside where I was convinced people were watching me and making judgments.
Couple of years later I met my husband William and it was a whirlwind Romance. Before I know it we were married and three weeks after dating he confessed he had kids. I should have seen that as a warning sign but knowing he had been through a bitter custody battle and lost complete access to his children I sympathised and thought he deserved a better life.Boy was I wrong. The man had been in the army for 6 years and spent his childhood stealing cars and smashing up derelict buildings. He as an atrcious temper and used to hit me a lot and always puts me down. Since being with him I fell pregnant and he cahnged his mind said he didn’ want it.So, worried I couldn’t cope alone with a child in my condition, I made the heart-rendering decision to have a 5 month abortion. The experience was horrific and I will have to live with that guilt forever.
However currently living still with husband and been planning escape for a long time. Im sick of being told Im nothing and a wate of space and the fear is gone. I am only afraid that in applying for homelessness will be surrounded by well rough people and not sure whehter they will be hostile to my passive nature.
All in all I harbour one dream and that is to be able to write books. Although my personality disorder creates the most extreme abrupt mood swings,reading books and writing have remained the constant. I am looking for a way to make thi happen. After I sort out all the homeless shit and the benefits first.
Family wise, I have one father.My real mother died of breast cancer couple years back. Dad remarried and we now have a stepbrother,stepsister, big brother and little sister.We get on all okay save my stepmother and stepbrother, but life isn’t all perfect.I want to achieve so much, I know I can, and I will not let this illness defeat me.
