Christmas can be a stressful time whether you're surrounded by people or alone. I decided to put out an impromptu episode with 5 tips for coping with the day with the minimum of suffering and self-sabotage. I mentioned the Samaritans in this episode. It's a UK based service. in the US you can access a suicide prevention hotline by dialling 998. Leave a review and follow the podcast on Instagram @beyondtheborderlinepod

Where is the podcast headed? My experience of being in a relationship and being ghosted, and what's helping me navigate this. This content is not a substitute for professional mental health support.

Where the podcast is headed and my experience of being ghosted

After a sizeable break the podcast is back! in the time I have been away I qualified as a personal trainer and bodybuilding coach, and I am currently training to be a nutritional coach. My aim is to keep the focus on recovery from BPD and other mental health challenges while adding a fitness and nutrition element!
