“The harder I work, the luckier I get!”
Samuel Goldwyn
I genuinely
don’t know where to start with an introduction to the content you’re about to
see this year for Mental Health Awareness Week (MHAW)! I mean, I’m so
unbelievably proud and happy with each of the seven blog posts you’ll see
throughout the week! I’d like to think that I’ve tried to illustrate a lot of
different aspects of this year’s theme of ‘loneliness’ through working with
some incredible people/organisations, so I really hope you all like the content
I’ve worked so hard on…

5 UK Borderline Personality Disorder Blogs and Websites in 2022 (feedspot.com)
Starting to
blog the way I did – with no real hope or intention of reaching anyone besides my
‘friends’ on Facebook – I couldn’t have even begun to imagine that one day I’d
be blogging to over one million readers about being announced as number one of the
entireties of UK Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Blogs! And whilst I’m so
completely grateful and honoured to say I can do these two things; I won’t shy
away from the fact that it – and blogging in general – comes with some challenges…

the blog:
For the four years before I started blogging, I kept my struggles with my mental health a secret and it wasn’t until I was told that I’d be going to a psychiatric hospital over 100 miles away before I finally talked about it publicly. And I really only did so because the hospital had stated the average length of admission was 12 – 18 months and my immediate thought was ‘how am I supposed to come up with a lie about where I am that would last for that long?!’
