And the world still continued

After losing Natalie, my writing became on a hold. I’ve been trying to write again. It’s now I realise that even if I stop doing things, the world doesn’t stop. It felt like my world hand ended, but everyone else was still living. Part of me hated that, and part of me is thankful of that too.

In about a week, it will be two years since Natalie, my sister took her life. My life did stop, or I tried to make it stop, and I’m still trying to build up back up. After being detained last July, I’m still detained on an out of area PD unit, receiving DBT and psychology.

It’s a hard place to be in right now. It’s hard being detained, being away from family, having natts anniversary in the horizon and now, the situation were all stuck in with COVID19 which had already taken so many lives and the country is now on lockdown

I guess there wasn’t a point to this blog, but to explain on the situation and be a start of me blogging again which I look forward too.

For now, stay safe. Social distance and self isolate. Only go out if needed, but also look after your mental health. This too shall pass – it won’t last forever.

Jessica Louise. 27. Trying to blog about my story with Borderline Personality Disorder (and more) to raise awareness, end stigma and help people know they are not alone, and about losing my sister to suicide. Not through the fight yet. Days can be dark. I may go silent, but I am here fighting or at least trying. I am not always perfect, none of us are, but trying to be a better person for me and hate less and be more assertive. Just remember you are not alone. It can always get better but it takes time and hard work. Blips may happen, it is not failure but the path to your life and sucesss. Having a mental health problem is nothing to be ashamed about. Its so easy saying it but even I know it can be hard and it can feel isolating so let's fight, together. Hold onto hope and it will keep you alive.
