About The Norty Borerline

So I thought I probably should do an about me page.

Well I am a 42 year old woman, who lives in Queensland, Australia and I have a 22 year old daughter.

I suffer from numerous mental health issues, however one of my main diagnosis' is Borderline Personality Disorder.

So I thought I would start blogging about my life journey with BPD, to mainly try and help my mental health and maybe even provide a little entertainment for others.

I hope you enjoy.

I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though. Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work. I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
