About Me
I am a typical BPD sufferer, with new diagnosed Rapid Cycling mood disorder (a subtype of bi-polar). I have a lot of other medical issues too. I have social anxiety and find it difficulty making friends, that is offline. I have bad psoriasis and hate it to death!I am currently just starting on CBT to control my social anxiety.
Interests
I like art and craft, music, my cats, animals apart from snakes and spiders! URGH! I find it easier to make friends online, but am now understanding a bit of where this has come from. I am studying for a degree at present to go into teaching.
