Borderline and Back: Hope, Management and Resilience for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)4 Sep 2022

Season 2 Episode 14: BPD Beginner Friendly Tips

A subscriber to the show (Ainsley) requested an episode about beginner-friendly advice/tips for someone who has been recently diagnosed. What a brilliant idea for an episode, I am kind of disappointed in myself for not thinking of this first!!

I released this for early subscriber access back in July and wanted to share it out now for the rest of you. Sorry for the muffled audio - I am sorting out how to have better audio on video uploads, something that I plan to make exclusive for subscribers (as well as exclusive/early episode releases).

Tips!

* google isn't always your friend, Reddit is terrifying, a lot of stigmatizing content is out there

* make sure you take care of your physical health and safety first, that means getting help for any kind of eating disorder, self harm activity, making those dreaded doctors and dentist appointments. Physical health is a major part of mental health and vice-versa

* be selective about the content you choose to consume - social media etc

* start small! Management isn't a sprint, it is a marathon. It is tempting to want to throw yourself into it but that will lead to burn out - trust me

* be kind to, and forgive yourself first. learn to love yourself unconditionally, to be able to care for yourself (aka little you, your inner child with needs) to release the need for other people to ground us emotionally

Thanks to each of you for supporting this podcast, I appreciate you all so much.
