I (24F) am a former domestic violence perpetrator. AMA

I developed a severe personality disorder in my teens, and ended up doing some awful things before my diagnosis/treatment. I gave myself PTSD. I am fully recovered, and could NEVER imagine hurting another human being again. It makes me sick to think about who I was in the past, but, this is an extremely taboo side of mental illness that doesn't seem to be talked about very much.
