What does BPD actually feel like from the inside?

In this episode of The BPD Bunch Brunch, meet our new cast member, Justin, a musician navigating life with borderline personality disorder.

In this episode, we talk about:

• What it was like getting diagnosed with BPD, and why it felt both relieving and complicated

• The reality that understanding yourself does not automatically make things easier

• What BPD felt like for him internally, including how he describes “living off his amygdala”

• His experience with therapy, and why finding the right therapist matters

• The role of creativity and music, including why it is not always healing

• How music can bring you back into past emotional states

• Navigating rejection, identity, and self-worth in the music industry

• Learning boundaries, self-compassion, and the power of saying no

If you’ve ever felt like finally having an answer didn’t change how hard things still feel, this conversation will probably resonate.👇 Justin's website + socials below.Website: https://www.justinyates.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinyatesmusicYT:  ⁨@JustinYates⁩  UPLOAD SCHEDULE UPDATE: BPD Bunch brunch episodes will now standalone from the season, and will be uploaded the first Sunday (or Monday) of every month! 🌟 Love what we do?
