Ep. 81 In this episode, Kelly Marie dives into the possibility of being misdiagnosed, AGAIN! Does she actually live with borderline personality disorder or is she autistic? Maybe there's another diagnosis that is a better fit, like complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD).

The goal of this episode is to help you understand your own misdiagnosis and to give yourself grace and the ability to accept you for where you are regardless of what box you may or may not check.

Living with a mental health illness or condition isn't an easy journey. Kelly Marie has lived with several mental health diagnoses and has made it her mission to live a life that shares her journey with the world.

Originally diagnosed with postpartum depression, then bipolar disorder, Kelly was finally diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) in addition to depression and generalized anxiety.

Recently, Kelly Marie has begun to question whether or not her diagnosis of borderline personality disorder is accurate after the algorithm coughed up this article on the misdiagnosis of a woman living with autism and not BPD.
