    When It Hurts Too Much to Stay

    What do you do when the pain becomes too much to carry?This episode dives into the breaking point: the moment when emotions stop feeling survivable and something inside you says enough. We’ll hear from people who cut everyone off, not out of hate but out of desperation. People who couldn’t keep explaining their pain to those who didn’t understand it, and people who learned, the hardest way possible, that healing sometimes starts with heartbreak. It’s about reaching the edge, and what happens when you finally let go; of others, of hope, or of the version of yourself that kept begging to be loved right. TIMESTAMPS:

    When Nobody Asks How You Are

    Being invisible isn’t always about being alone. Sometimes it’s about being around people who never really see you. What happens when nobody asks how you are? This episode dives into the kind of loneliness that hides in plain sight; when you’re surrounded by people but still feel invisible. Through real stories from Reddit, we explore how neglect, silence, and emotional invisibility shape people with BPD, and why being unseen can hurt more than being left. TIMESTAMPS:
 00:00 Intro 01:02 None of my friends checked up on me.. https://www.reddit.com/r/BPD/comments/hdfqfi/none_of_my_friends_checked_up_on_me/ 05:17 I don’t think anyone sees me, it makes me feel lost. https://www.reddit.com/r/BPD/comments/1374g8c/i_dont_think_anyone_sees_me_it_makes_me_feel_lost/ 05:56 Everyone always leaves. https://www.reddit.com/r/BPD/comments/1gq22rz/everyone_always_leaves/ 08:23 Can you survive BPD without a support system https://www.reddit.com/r/BorderlinePDisorder/comments/1irwxyz/can_you_survive_bpd_without_a_support_system/ 12:58 You CAN support someone with borderline personality disorder (BPD) in a healthy way. https://www.reddit.com/r/BorderlinePDisorder/comments/a717fp/you_can_support_someone_with_borderline/

    The Borderline Blackout: Why We Isolate

    Why do we push people away when we’re desperate not to be alone? This episode dives into the cycle of self-isolation in BPD; the shame, the spiral, and the crushing silence that follows. From Reddit confessions about ghosting friends to the raw loneliness of living with BPD as a man, we talk about what it means to retreat into yourself and how damn hard it is to find a way back out. If you’ve ever locked yourself in your room and hated yourself for it, this one’s for you. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:56 Is it common for BPD people to isolate themselves? 09:22 Sinking into absolute isolation 16:34 Why do people with BPD self isolate? 22:54 The Lonely Reality of BPD as a Man

    How Childhood Shapes Borderline

    Borderline doesn’t come out of nowhere. It’s shaped, often in childhood, by sensitivity, unmet needs, and the wrong lessons learned too early. In this episode, I read stories from people reflecting on how their upbringing carved paths straight into borderline patterns. Not every wound was intentional, but every wound left a mark. This is an important topic, and it's not about blame, but understanding where the cracks start, and why they run so deep. Join the conversation at r/bpdbitchespod TIMESTAMPS: 01:18 I have BPD because of the emotional neglect I suffered as a child 07:03 Signs of BPD as a young child 15:22 What was it in your childhood that triggered you BPD?18:26 In what ways have your family caused/contributed to your bpd 23:40 Should we have children? 30:05 is childhood loneliness common in ppl w/ bpd?

    Is BPD a Red Flag or Does It Attract Them?

    This one’s about love, the stories we tell ourselves and the ones other people tell about us. Many questions arise: Are we the red flags, or do we just keep falling for them? Is it wise to generalize an entire group of people based on individuals? What do you need in a partner? And most importantly and productively: What kind of partner do YOU want to be? It’s a shorter episode than usual (life is life-ing), but this is a topic we can come back to. Because love is complicated, and the way we show up in it matters — no matter if a diagnoses is in the mix. Join the conversation at r/bpdbitchespod Timestamps: 00:48 Are relationships possible? 04:39 what I want in a relationship 12:02 People with BPD should fix themselves first before going to dating market, your partner isn’t your unpaid psychiatrist 22:44 Will we find healthy love?

    Pushing People Away Before They Get the Chance

    This week's theme is loneliness. Let’s talk about the quiet ways we push people away, cut them off, or shut down before they get the chance to leave us first. We’ll also look at the other side: what it’s like when people take space from us — because of the disorder, because we f****d up or because they don’t know how to stay. What can we do to show up better for ourselves, and for those we love?Join the reflection on loss, loneliness and the tension between wanting closeness and fearing it, at r/bpdbitchespod.

    Am I Manipulative or Just Hurt?

    This one’s heavy. We’re getting into the messy space between pain and behavior—the times we lash out, beg for closeness, or lose control, and then wonder: was that manipulation… or was I just hurting? I read posts that don’t sugarcoat the damage BPD can cause—to others and to ourselves—and talk honestly about what it means to take responsibility without drowning in shame. Featuring 🛋️ Validation Station, 🔥 Hot Take of the Week, and a lot of spiraling thoughts about adulthood, accountability, and why “it’s not your fault” isn’t the same as “you don’t have to deal with it.” Trigger warnings are very much in effect, but so is compassion. Join the reckoning (and the support) at r/bpdbitchespod. Timestamps: 01:03 Is it emotional manipulation If I truly believed it in the moment? 09:10 People that don’t have BPD have no clue how painful this disorder is 24:45 Girlfriend w/ BPD
