We are what we make of ourselves. And our disease is what we present it to be. If you behave badly and use your mental illness as an excuse, you are helping to propel the stigma of mental illness forward. If I only know one person with BPD and that person makes bad decision after [...]
Identity
Posted April 3rd 2013 by kmarrsWhen I started this blog, back in December of 2008, one of the first things I pondered inside me and on paper was what my online identity would be.

As I finished through high school, shootings weren’t common, but they were a [...]
Thank God I Don’t Aim To Be Popular
Posted December 14th 2012 by kmarrsOk. So “OMG WHEEE” of the royal pregnancy aside, the real drama llama of the situation is the prank call. There are two parties to this: The radio DJ’s and the hospital. The DJ’s? Never excepted to be put through. Of course they didn’t. Who in their right mind would have actually thought they could [...]
