Ever wondered what it’s like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)? This episode of Bold Beautiful Borderline gives you a raw and unfiltered look into the emotional rollercoaster that comes with BPD. Hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson pull no punches as they dive into the chaotic ups and downs of Sara’s recent experiences. From the high of celebrating two years of sobriety to the depths of an emotional hangover, this episode is a whirlwind of feelings and reflections.
Sara recounts a day filled with intense mood swings triggered by seemingly minor events, like her dogs not settling in the car or a simple parking disagreement with her husband. Her candid storytelling paints a vivid picture of how quickly emotions can spiral out of control and the physical toll it takes on her body. Sara also shares her coping mechanisms, though sometimes they fall short, leading to more frustration and self-criticism.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there’s a sprinkle of humour as Sara describes feeling like a “garbage can lit on fire” and the odd relief that comes from cleaning up dog vomit. By the end, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the emotional hangover that follows such intense days and why self-compassion is crucial. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand BPD better or seeking solidarity in their own mental health journey.
