@Queenie    I need a smash my head against the wall emoji right now..

What a tragedy, what a waste.  I am so very sorry this happened to you, I am so very sorry you had to suffer such a heartless, needless loss.  I am also so sorry for J.  Nobody listened to her, but you.  What can be said to that? 

I am just so very sorry for all of it,  You are very strong, congratulations on your study, on leaving a violent husband behind, and being so determined you changed your life.  What an amazing woman you are. It is truly a privilege to "know" you.

Thank you @Former-Member for your reply. It is true, nobody helped her and after she died, I was angry that the world seemed to forget her (except for me and an old housemate of her). We kept a website going in her memory for a while, but for some reason or another it was taken down (I really don't know the reason). I have very few pictures left of her but those I have, I treasure. It was a tragic waste, all J wanted to do was become a doctor, but due to her drug history, she was not permitted. She certainly had the intelligence.

Thanks for the Singapore Sling, the corgis and I are also privileged to know you too.

Hi @Queenie

my heart goes out for the anniversary of the loss of your beautiful friend.

I am glad you are here and on this forum.  I too have BPD and i struggle so much with stigma and not being taken 'serious enough' when in hospital.

Take care, be gentle. xxoo
