Living Fully with Borderline Personality Disorder: Juliana Lorton's Journey

I'm not broken, you don't need to put me back together, like it's just...there's going to be days.
Ever wondered what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode of 'We Are The Stigma', hosts Melissa and Cody Kreutz catch up with Juliana Lorton, who first shared her story in Season 1. It's been three years since her BPD diagnosis, and Juliana opens up about her ongoing journey of self-discovery, growth, and acceptance.
From navigating the challenges of relocation to finding love and support, she shares how she's learned to honor her mental health rather than fight it. Juliana talks about the tools that have helped her along the way, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and strategies for managing impulsivity. One poignant moment in the episode is when Juliana says, 'I'm not broken, you don't need to put me back together, like it's just...there's going to be days'.
This heartfelt conversation sheds light on the stigma surrounding BPD and offers hope and practical advice for anyone affected by this condition. Whether you're living with BPD or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its raw honesty and uplifting message.
