Hello Everyone, 

Sorry for being MIA - life got busy. This is more of a verbal diary episode, where I talk through things for myself - in the hopes that it might connect with a few of you.

Want to know what happens when I get a chance to talk with another woman with BPD for the first time (who also has ADHD)? THIS!

This is part three of three with Adriana who is authoring an amazing book of poems and resources called Book of Thoughts. We talk about diagnosis, failures, stigma, art as a form of connect, donuts (Tim Hortons vs Krispy Kreme) and of course Book of Thoughts.

An important part of my BPD journey has been finding resources to support me and build skills. I am teaming up with Adriana to do a give away which will have the draw on December 1st to give one listener/follow a copy of: The Borderline Personality Disorder Workbook, The DBT Skills Workbook and a copy of Book of Thoughts. To enter you can leave a comment in the community section of spotify, DM me on instagram or send me an email at [email protected]. I will give an extra entry to those of you who follow Book of Thoughts on instagram and send me a picture as proof.
