The Borderline Space
This is a podcast designed to educate people on what borderline personality disoder is, how it affects those of us who have it and to end the stigma around it. Often those with bpd are seen as scary, unhinged, unstable and a whole host of other things that just aren't true. We are people who have been through intense trauma in our lives and are doing the best we can with how our brains now work. I hope this podcast is educational, fun and brings a bit of hope to those of us learning to live with this disorder.

Episode 3
This episode discusses what emotion regulation is and why it is difficult for people with BPD. I discuss my mental breakdown and what role being unable to regulate my emotions played into that. I also discuss how I previously managed emotions and what lessons I was taught about them growing up versus how I manage them now. There is explicit language in this episode but it's more real and raw than my previous two. As always there is a trigger warning - if any part of the episode becomes too much please stop listening and take care of you!
