Newly diagnosed & feeling validated

I’m newly diagnosed and this podcast makes me feel so validated. Within the first few minutes of the first episodes, my jaw was on the floor. Love it!!!!

lone wolf 6 ,

beautiful, raw honesty

i am so grateful for this podcast. there is so much stigma around borderline personality disorder that it isn’t exactly a casual conversation. listening to laurie & sara & their experiences & stories & skills makes me feel less isolated in my experience. i’ve heard the saying “secrets keep us sick, and community is how we heal” & laurie & sara definitely have created a community.

Speechless.

I listen on Stitcher but I HAD to come here to rate & review because this podcast is so WORTH a listen! I am a new listener so I’m still working my way through the “older” episodes but for the first time in my life I feel understood! The hosts are honest, lighthearted, and easy to listen to; it feels like your talking with friends. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who is diagnosed, knows someone who is diagnosed, or anyone who is generally interested in mental health. I look forward to the new episodes
