I'm not perfect and I have a lot of work to do still, but there have been times where I redirected myself, and I'm really proud of myself.
Have you ever wondered how a mental health diagnosis can shape someone's path to sobriety? In this episode of the 'Sober Girl Podcast', Ashley Hasson chats with Mary, who candidly shares her experience living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) while striving to stay sober. Mary opens up about the rollercoaster of emotions that come with BPD and the challenges she faces in finding the right balance between medication, therapy, and everyday life.
From the struggle of managing intense feelings to the importance of maintaining healthy relationships, Mary's story is a raw and honest look at the complexities of mental health and addiction. She also touches on the role of social media, like TikTok, in providing a sense of community and validation, while also cautioning against the pitfalls of seeking approval from strangers online.
One of the key messages Mary emphasizes is the importance of seeking professional help and being truthful with oneself and healthcare providers. She highlights that while medication can be a useful tool, it's not a cure-all; therapy and coping strategies are equally vital in managing BPD symptoms. This episode is not just about Mary's struggles; it's about her resilience and the power of community support in navigating mental health challenges.
