Surviving and Thriving: A Podcast About Life, Mental Health, & Personal Growth

*disclaimer: I am not a therapist, psychiatrist or behavioral scientist. Everything I share here is based on my own lived experience as someone diagnosed with BPD (borderline personality disorder), depression, and anxiety! Thank you so much for listening to this episode. I encourage you to check out some of my other episodes if you found this helpful or share it with someone you think it would help. I want to provide a forum for feeling safe to express what you're feeling no matter how messy. Living with BPD, Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and any other illness is HARD. You deserve to express your rage, your sadness, your grief and you deserve spaces that allow you to do so. It's so healing! Please consider connecting with me on social media where I hope to create this type of space online. Until next time!

I know this is very much a rant but I hope you all got something out if nevertheless.

Thanks for listening to my mini rant today! I do hope this encourages those of you within the BPD and mental health community online to protect your peace and take a step back when it gets to be triggering. Setting boundaries applies to digital spaces as well. We can split on people or allow people to trauma dump without even realizing it because of the nature of social media so I hope this podcast episode is helpful to you if you resonate with feeling drained, rather than uplifted, by the mental health community online.

I hope you'll subscribe and stay connected as I work to build a community for the mentally ill, neurodivergents, and BIPOC!
