If you can be in a relationship with somebody that validates how you're feeling and actually will talk to you about the fact that you feel like you're about to be abandoned, then you'll be okay.
Imagine feeling a deep, almost paralyzing fear of being left behind by those you love. In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson open up about their personal battles with the fear of abandonment, a common but challenging aspect of living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Laurie, who recently got engaged, and Sara, who is navigating life post-divorce, share how this fear manifests differently in their lives.
From friendships to romantic relationships, and even their bonds with pets, the terror of being abandoned casts a long shadow over their interactions. Their raw and honest conversation touches on emotional highs and lows, trauma bonding, and the coping strategies they've developed over time. Whether you're living with BPD or know someone who is, this episode offers a heartfelt glimpse into the complexities of maintaining relationships while grappling with the ever-present fear of abandonment.
