Articulating BPD and me Roshelle Estephan

A welcome back to Articulating BPD and me. We transit through current life situations and the impact that friendships have on us. Despite popular belief friendships ending are break ups and there are important reflection points.

In this episode we speak freely about changes in the last year, where I’ve been and touch on building a new relationship, coping with change and childhood trauma. An introduction to the next stage in my journey with BPD.

In this episode welcome back the awkward me for symptom 8 and one of my biggest attributes of BDP. I have always been called “hot headed” and it often got brushed off as nothing but that. In retrospect, my mum and I have explored many moments of my childhood that were not in the scope of the normal child tantrum.

In this episode we tangent off from my experiences of the 9 symptoms of BPD and reflect upon how difficult living with ANY mental health is on the daily.

In this episode I attempt to discuss symptom number 7. Unfortunately I don’t have the words to describe how intensely I feel this, so please recognize that this is a severe symptom someone with BPD can experience and effects our daily lives and wellbeing.

In this episode we discuss one of the most common symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It’s definitely the symptom most frequently experienced in day to day life, and by those around me. The emotional tailspin I experience by even the slightest “trigger” often leaves others in an emotional whirlwind of ‘wtf’.
