Laura´s story

He'd always considered himself rational. Perhaps a bit of an overthinker But he couldn't move from thinking to doing. He was stuck. His thoughts were intrusive, disturbing, unceasing. Realizing he was a prisoner of his own mind was the first step to making peace with his condition.

A pastor in need of comfort and company drowned herself into work. Not knowing when or how to stop caused her to collapse mentally, physically and spiritually.

A child who wanted to be an adult. A teenager that played with knives. A lacerating pain that cuts deeper than the skin: to live in anguish and fear not to be loved in her condition. This is a sample portrait of the rollercoaster journey as a borderline.

A violent robbery, an early-childhood abuse, the illnesses of her parents and her life as an immigrant, generated traumas that were later amplified. Their echoes came back to haunt her shaped as a post-traumatic stress syndrome.
