Meet the BPD Bunch - Alex

Meet Alex, one of the cast of the BPD Bunch!
In the week before their debut episode, we're posting 5-7 minute interviews with our cast members so you can get to know us better.
Disclaimer:
Although several of our panelists work in the mental health field, we are all coming to you as people in recovery from BPD, and are not here to provide professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
Instead, we hope that by sharing our stories and what was helpful for us, you can gain some insight and direction into your own recovery ❤️‍🩹

I LOVE what you said about not identifying with BPD - I feel like I fell into that trap and it made it harder for me to recover because there was a big part of me that was terrified to leave BPD behind. I think I thought that if BPD wasn’t my identity, I wouldn’t know who I was. Glad I was wrong!!

[@isspdstudentsectioncommitt9046]

We are so proud of you Alex! Sharing lived experience is going to change the narrative around BPD. Thank you to the BPD Bunch for being such incredible advocates!

im sobbing watching this video. I want to get my phd in clinical psychology, my mom roller her eyes at me for even considering down that path because, "how can you help others if you cant help yourself, your emotions are too intense." Thank you so much for making me feel like i can do it. bpd doesnt define me, i can fight this

[@cairosilver2932]

What is BPD if it is not those other things - in what ways is it expressed?

[@astein6273]

Thanks for your question! I am not exactly sure what you are asking but if you are interested in learning more about what BPD is, you can check out this link, it has a pretty good description of what the disorder is and is not! www.borderlinepersonalitydisorder.org/what-is-bpd/bpd-overview/
