In this episode, I open the door into Dancing on my own — the short film that became both a diary and a flashlight.

I talk about how it came to life, what I was trying to communicate, and how much of myself still lives inside every frame.

Then we shift inward.

I explore borderline personality disorder and bipolar II — not as labels, but as languages I’m still learning to speak.

I read through articles, reflect in real time, and try to understand how these words map onto my everyday thoughts, fears, and sparks of joy.

It’s filmmaking mixed with self-study. Cinema and brain chemistry.

A conversation about the stories we tell on-screen… and the ones we’re still trying to tell inside ourselves.

If any of that feels familiar — welcome. Let’s figure it out together in the dark. 👻
