Some minds are louder than others.
Unquiet Minds is a place where I write about my lived experience with borderline personality disorder (BPD), severe anxiety, depression, and the long, uneven process of learning how to live with an unquiet mind.
About me
Hi. I’m 32, and I’m still learning how to live with a mind that can sometimes be very loud.
I’ve spent most of my life living with borderline personality disorder (BPD), severe generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and recurring episodes of depression. Alongside that, I’ve struggled with alcohol abuse since my early teenage years.
At certain points, these things made life feel almost unbearable.
Yet I’m still here.
I know what it’s like to feel emotions so intensely that they can take over your entire day, your relationships, and sometimes even your sense of who you are. Progress, for me, has rarely looked like a straight line. More often it has looked like insight, relapse, learning something again, and slowly trying one more time.
Why I write
This blog is a space where I write openly about my lived experience with mental illness. The difficult moments, the small realisations, the one step forward two steps back process. The patterns I’m still learning to recognise, and the uncomfortable truths that come with them.
I’m not a therapist, coach, or expert. I’m simply someone who has spent many years trying to understand her own mind and figure out how to live with it.
If you are fighting battles in your own mind, I hope these reflections make you feel a little less alone. Sometimes the most important thing we do is simply keep going, even when the steps are small.
