Comorbid Diagnosis + My Autism Journey

In this episode, I touch on the topic of Comorbid Diagnosis before telling you a bit about my own journey to getting diagnosed as Autistic. Research estimates that 50-96% of people with BPD are living with a comorbid mental health condition, whether that is depression or anxiety, other mood disorders, or even substance abuse issues (to name a few). Understanding how to treat these comorbid diagnosis can be integral to our understanding of what BPD means for us, as we can get the treatment we need to be able to handle the emotional rollercoaster that BPD is. In regards to my Autism Journey, I talk about what my testing process was like, how long it took, and also the cost, because where I live, most adult services for Autism testing is paid out of pocket which makes it highly inaccessible for many people. I am thankful to those who have spent their time sharing their own autism stories as that is what prompted me to want to get tested, and am thankful for you to give me the space to talk about what it's like now living with both BPD and Autism. Life can feel incredibly lonely sometimes so I thank you for giving me the space to unpack my own mental health. As always, feel free to reach out if you liked this episode or relate to what I've spoken about @journey.bound in instagram and be kind to yourself 🖤 sending you so much love.
