What actually happens when a relationship involving Borderline Personality Disorder ends... from the exes’ perspective? In this episode of The BPD Bunch, Xannie sits down with Katja, Raf, and their former partners, John and Danni - who are still in each other’s lives - to talk honestly about breakups, impulsivity, communication breakdowns, fear of abandonment, and what recovery actually looks like after the relationship ends. This conversation explores: – What ex-partners noticed (and didn’t notice) about BPD symptoms – When “normal” behavior crosses into something harmful – Why some breakups stay amicable, and others don’t – The difference between blame and responsibility – How insight, accountability, and communication change outcomes If you live with BPD, or have loved someone who does, this episode offers nuance, compassion, and reality, not stereotypes.

People with this disorder may have magical thinking, such as believing they have special powers or can predict the future, and they often feel uncomfortable in social situations. Their way of thinking and behaving can be different from what is considered typical, which can make it hard for them to connect with others.________About Us: The BPD bunch is a YouTube talk show, featuring a panel of people who are in functional recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder.
