Living your queer life is an act of resistance. It's a challenge, but it's a good challenge. I see these queer kids coming in, buying the best titles and I wish I had when I was that age. You just do it with such empowerment. That's what I want to say.
How do you navigate life when you're juggling multiple identities and mental health challenges? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Sara and Laurie are joined by Dallas, a queer Gen X individual living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), ADHD, and existential OCD. Dallas opens up about her late diagnosis of BPD and how it intersects with her other identities.
This conversation is as enlightening as it is raw, offering a heartfelt look into the complexities of living with stigmatized mental illnesses while embracing one's queer identity. Whether it's discussing the unique experience of celebrating Pride in different months or diving into queer theory, this episode is filled with moments that will resonate deeply with anyone who has felt the weight of multiple, intersecting identities.
Dallas' story is a testament to the power of radical acceptance and the strength found in community support. Tune in for an episode that's equal parts educational, emotional, and empowering.
