I feel like I am in a little bit of a pickle at the moment. I have been diagnosed with boderline personality disorder and I have taken the news quite badly, also I am currently in rehab for OCD as well. Basically my main worry is that I believe that I am an attention seeking liar. I have done a lot of attention seeking behaviors and I believe that all my thoughts I have talked about I make up to keep me unwell. I feel unworthy as I feel I have wasted peoples time who have tried to help me, I feel I have lied to my family and friends and I just don't know how to stop it. I want to be a good person and make a difference but how can I when I have done such bad things about lying. Please help me. Thank youx

Well, realizing the things you've done wrong is a good place to start. Acknowledging that is a huge thing. My mother was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder and she has never accepted that. She has no will to change. She sees nothing wrong with herself. It seems to me, the fact that you realize your need to change certain habits speaks volumes. It seems that you recognize when you're seeking attention. So if you recognize it you can work on NOT continuing that behavior later. And if you know when you're lying, stop. And tell the truth. I know this is all easier said than done. It's going to take you a while probably. Just hang in there and I believe if you truly want to change you can. Best of luck :)

Believe- A poem by me
As long as you believe and have faith in yourself
You will never feel lonely or left on the shelf
People will accet you and fill you with praise
Your confidence will shine in meaningful ways
You'll feel comfort in your heart, and love through and through
SO share this with others who feel this way too!x
