The BPD Bunch

Demonized or Misunderstood? The Stigma of Personality Disorders


Listen Later

Can the labels we wear change the way we see ourselves and each other? In this episode, Xannie and Katja are joined by Kylee and Jake to discuss societal stigma surrounding personality disorders, focusing on borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissistic, personality disorder (NPD), antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and schizotypical personality disorder (STPD).

Building on our conversation from Wednesday’s episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MbChkoc1HI), the bunch share their experiences with stigma, with subtopics including: media presentations of personality disorders, romanticizing PDs, and the disparity in tone used to talk about different PDs. Whether you're navigating your own journey with BPD or supporting someone who is, this conversation is vital for understanding and healing. Don’t miss out on the truths that could change perceptions and foster empathy.Find more from Kylee: @KyleeRackam https://www.instagram.com/kyleerackam_https://www.tiktok.com/@UClfU4D90xfhPJJqqxjP0wBQ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554776421760Find more from Jake: @antisocialtheatre https://www.instagram.com/antisocialtheatreCome back on Friday as we continue this topic, with a discussion on personality disorder stigma, and Sunday, as we wrap up this topic sharing stories of important relationships that have taught us something about our PDs.
