I think everyone can come out when they want to... Hopefully, erase the stigma in a couple people's lives.
Imagine navigating the complexities of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) while working in an environment that doesn't understand or accept mental health challenges. That's the reality for Alex, the guest on this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline'. Hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson sit down with Alex to explore his unique experiences as a man with BPD in a male-dominated and stigma-laden profession.
Alex opens up about his decision to keep his diagnosis private for now, sharing the fears and societal pressures that influenced his choice. He delves into his personal recovery journey, discussing the treatment philosophies that have helped him manage his condition. One of the most compelling parts of Alex's story is his emphasis on a particular skill he considers vital for living with BPD.
Through candid conversation, Alex sheds light on the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health in the workplace and society at large. His story is a powerful reminder of the importance of creating supportive environments where people can feel safe to share their struggles. Whether you're dealing with BPD yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in mental health, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt reflections.
