Hello, I'm new :) Time to change

Erniesmum

Hello Everyone!

I've been looking on the forums for a while now, and I thought it's time I need to join up, especially seeing all the lovely support that is given

A bit about me- I'm 26 and a married mum of 3 with my own business. I do have Borderline personality disorder, which can be similar to bipolar in some ways. I have a successful business, but I work if the work comes in, so it's never regular. Seems strange admitting things on here, but it will do me good. I have a gambling addiction, not a huge loss in some ways, but I'm sick and tired of not having money in the bank and breaking even. By now I should have £1000's, which is not the case. I have a very supportive husband, but it's obviously been effecting our relationship, as the trust etc. has been difficult. It seems like I go on binges when I'm low, and I'm currently in a vicious cycle of feeling good, thinking it's Ok to gamble a bit, then not being able to stop.

Now is the time to change. Just by posting on here I feel like I'm doing something positive. Feel free to share your own stories, it feel good finally being able to admit things xxx

Hello Erniesmum, just dropping by to wish you good luck. There are lots of people here who can support you, so you have made a very positive step today and come to the right place.

It's good to get things down in black and white for yourself anyway, it makes things much clearer
