I first started exhibiting signs of mental illness when I was 3, but nobody was able to offer my mother any support for me at that time.

When I was around 12, my symptoms began to increase until I finally began to seek help at around 15. I saw a psychiatrist but didn't trust him because I felt he was reporting things back to my mother. Once I hit adulthood, I sought help through various psychologists and psychiatrists mainly doing general talk therapy & medications until I was eventually diagnosed with BPD in my mid-20s.
