Living With BPD, Anorexia & Myself

In this episode, our guest opens up about her brutal struggle with anorexia and borderline personality disorder—how it began with “healthy habits,” how it spiralled into obsession, and how she’s still learning to live with it. From being hospitalised at 16 to fighting the stigma from medical professionals, this is a raw and unfiltered look into the mind of someone battling an eating disorder.


Growing up, she was a high-achieving perfectionist, praised for her discipline—but behind the praise was pain. What started with calorie counting turned into life-threatening restriction, self-harm, and eventually inpatient psychiatric care. Alongside her battle with food came the emotional chaos of BPD, making her story as complex as it is courageous.


Topics Covered:


• How anorexia starts with good intentions and spirals into control

• The dark side of being praised for looking unwell

• Living with borderline personality disorder and emotional instability

• The crossover between addiction and eating disorders

• Why psychiatric units don’t always help

• The pressure of being the “perfect” patient

• Food obsession, binging, and purging

• What recovery really looks like (and why it’s not a straight line)

• The stigma of invisible illness in the mental health system

• How she’s navigating life beyond the diagnosis


This is an honest, eye-opening discussion that sheds light on the complex realities of anorexia, BPD, and recovery.
