Thank you for sharing this. It's interesting to hear someone talk about it from this perspective in such and upfront manner. Also, thank you for the TWs at the start. It gave me a chance to get a cup of coffee and my comfort items close, and I knew to be ready to click off and take a break when I needed to. I know many ppl think that TWs are there to ward off people who might be sensitive, but for me, they often help me to be able to engage more by giving me a chance to prepare. Thank you
Thank you Liza for sharing your story. I have been the primary caregiver for a family member suffering from mental health issues (psychosis) most of my life. I know how difficult it is to live with severe mental issues. Hearing you telling your story with so much grace and insight gave me a lot of hope and made me feel less lonely, in a world so difficult to navigate and at times, cruel.
Liza, thank you for sharing yourself with us. What a brilliant endurance and intelligence you have as a human. I’m so sorry for everything you went through as a child. I feel so angry and heart broken for you. But here you are being open, loving, caring, vulnerable and insightful. God bless.
Thank you Liza for sharing your story. I can't even imagine how much courage and strength one needs to talk about such abuse and trauma. I listened and cried. But your story gave me hope that I can come to a peaceful place in my life as well at some point in the future.
Appreciate a lot your sharing Laiza (I hope I am spelling your name correctly). It is very inspirational story and I am happy that you are half or more than a half on your healing journey. Blessings and love to you!
"you have to be yourself" what an uneducated and small minded thing to say. WE ARE ourselves no matter who is 'fronting' I still cant talk to my family about this stuff; they glaze over and ignore me or tell me flat out "you just want attention". The subject is hardly approachable with them.
Amazing episode! Liza seems like a very strong person. Sounds like her family has a lot of generational trauma, which is a very sad notion. I wonder if DID is on the BPD spectrum? Just a thought. They both stem from trauma, and I've known some people with BPD who seemed to involuntarily switch to different personalities (not in a dissociative sense though) when triggered. I'm also a little confused about the father ghost story. Is that how she realized she was molested? Not trying to cast doubt, but it seems like a very unorthodox way to come to a conclusion. A fascinating story nonetheless. I hope Liza keeps progressing and finding self-love.
My totally unqualified understanding from what I have picked up from mental health professionals is that there is cross-over in symptoms, but BPD and DID are two separate conditions. There is probably a high level of co-morbidity between the two and there is definitely dissociation in BPD, but not to the level of a dissociative identity. Extreme mood-swings are common in BPD, but typically it's still the same person, the same self, as in Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Can't believe the stuff some people have to endure. I feel so bad for her

I live in Ontario! Happy this woman is doing well these days
Fantastic episode. Liza, you are inspirational!
Most working farms and ranches have what we call a bone pile.
It's where the dead animals are taken to, away from the house.

DID is a dissociative disorders. BPD is a personality disorder. Borderlines can dissociate but BPD is a different disorder.
