Bisexuality and BPD: Leslie's Pride Month Reflections on Bold Beautiful Borderline
I appreciate folks, specifically folks in the queer community, who connect with the things that we have in common more than the things that we don't.
Pride Month is a time for celebration and reflection, and this episode of Bold Beautiful Borderline brings a unique perspective to the forefront. Hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson sit down with their friend Leslie to discuss her journey of coming out as bisexual while living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Leslie, who you might know from her Instagram handle @lezpenn, opens up about the challenges and triumphs she's faced along the way.
This conversation goes beyond the typical coming-out story, diving into the nuanced intersection of bisexuality and BPD. The trio explores how these identities interact, the added layers of complexity in relationships, and the stigmas that persist within both the queer community and society at large. They also touch on the queering effect of polyamory and non-monogamy, offering a fresh perspective on love and connection.
Laurie, Sara, and Leslie's candid discussion sheds light on the importance of self-acceptance and finding common ground in our shared human experiences. Whether you're navigating your own identity or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and heartfelt stories that resonate with anyone interested in mental health and queer issues.
