Comment from: gods angel, 25-34 Female (Patient)
Published: March 01
I just recently was put in a mental health facility for treatment for borderline personality disorder. I have a psychosis. It's bad. I'm on medications for it but I will always have it. I got discharged today and I'm looking at the world in a different view. It is scary, but I have a lot of friends that are helping. Was this comment helpful?Yes
