Hello Everyone! And welcome back. 

Today we are talking about the difficulty that I had with receiving my diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. And how I believe that my inability to be honest with myself, my friends and family, and my medical team contributed to how long I suffered from undiagnosed BPD. This disorder carries enough shame, to begin with, I do not want anyone to feel shame about hiding their inner world or maladaptive coping mechanisms - I did it too. I am only expressing how once I was able to be honest with myself and people around me I was able to get help and start recovering.

Borderline Personality Disorder Test - please remember that I am sharing this as a tool, a resource for you to use to engage in a conversation with your doctor, not strictly for self-diagnosis. 

A reminder that you can message into the podcast using the Anchor app and clicking the message button. Or you can send me an email at [email protected]. I am working on creating a website for the podcast where I am going to have a whole section dedicated to the resources that have helped me on my road to recovery, as well as have all of the written copies of the episodes available.
