Kelly South's Journey: BPD, Marriage, and the Chaos Within

Whether that was having unprotected sex with the drug dealer, whether that was fighting and then driving erratically, just because, you know, my feelings were hurt over something completely trivial, I, yeah, the chaos dictated every moment of my life.
Have you ever wondered what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson sit down with author Kelly South to explore her personal journey. Kelly's book, 'Pay Attention to Me', offers a unique twist by juxtaposing her counselor's session notes with her own journal entries. This side-by-side comparison provides a raw look into her therapy sessions and her internal struggles.
Kelly opens up about the tumultuous impact BPD has had on her life, touching on everything from her marriage to her experiences with sex.
One memorable moment from the episode is when Kelly describes the chaotic nature of living with BPD: 'Whether that was having unprotected sex with the drug dealer, whether that was fighting and then driving erratically, just because, you know, my feelings were hurt over something completely trivial, I, yeah, the chaos dictated every moment of my life'. The conversation also dives into broader topics like mental health stigma, trauma, and the path to recovery.
Laurie and Sara guide the discussion with empathy and a touch of humor, making it a relatable listen for anyone affected by mental health issues. If you're curious about how BPD can affect relationships and self-worth or if you're looking for insights into therapy and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
