My poetry and prose is arranged by the year I wrote them.

I was diagnosed with BPD in early 1997 when I was 20 years old, after I was committed to a psychiatric hospital because I attempted suicide. By this time I had pretty well figured out on my own that there was something "wrong" with me. I thought that if everyone felt the way I did inside then it sure would have to be one screwed up world. So, that led me to believe there was something going on in my head out of the ordinary. For years I questioned my sanity almost everyday. I read articles from magazines from the time I was 15 regarding mental problems, but none of them seemed to fit me. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me, or even if there was anything wrong with me. I ended up thinking I was the craziest person on earth, and there was no way I would try and talk to anyone about it. Writing became my way for getting things out without ever actually having to say them, and because nobody ever had to read the things I wrote I didn't give people any reason to question my sanity (or so I thought ...)
