CHICO — I’ve been thinking a lot lately about mental health. Namely my own, but other people’s as well. It’s such an important topic that people avoid talking about. A little over a year ago I was told I have borderline personality disorder by my therapist.

I don’t have a medical diagnosis yet, but it’s pretty obvious that I have BPD.
