#Project I Am Not Ashamed
Welcome everyone, to Project I Am Not Ashamed. I created this project for one simple reason: breaking the mental health stigma, one person at a time. I found that creating awareness and education on social media can be effective, but many times we are “preaching to the choir.” To break the stigma, we need to start small and educate the general public by outing ourselves, coming out of hiding and doing this as a team and as a community.

Save Yourself
My name is Ross Trowbridge. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and am not ashamed. I’ll start off by saying I once was. I was riddled with fear, anxiety, guilt. I lived day by day, week by week, and month by month in bed 23 hours a day with severe suicidal ideation. My life was what most would consider a living hell. For over 20 years, I was diagnosed and misdiagnosed repeatedly, not knowing why I felt the things I felt. Not knowing why I acted the way I did. As you know, one cannot successfully treat a condition unless one knows which condition they have. So, when I was finally correctly diagnosed with BPD, I could finally connect the dots. I had answers to the questions that kept me up at night for so many years. Unfortunately, the plot thickens.
