The Internet's Most Asked BPD Questions, Answered | People with BPD Edition

from BPD Diaries: Stories and Science · host Stephanie Schildknecht

It's BPD Awareness Month. So I am doing something different.I keep seeing the same questions. Asked at 2am. Asked through tears. Asked by people who are exhausted, confused, and just want an honest answer.This episode answers 10 of the most common questions people with BPD actually ask, including:• Is it BPD or bipolar?• Why do I react so intensely even when I know better?• Am I a bad person because of what I've done during episodes?• Are people with BPD manipulative?• Why do I lie even about small things?• Why do I feel empty even when things are going okay?• What is a 'favorite person' and why does it hurt so much?• Why do I keep splitting on people I love and how do I stop?• Can I ever have a normal relationship?• Can I recover without DBT?I'm not just answering them. I'm showing you how to ask them better, because the way you ask a question changes what you can find.And at the end: a bonus question that almost no one is asking. The one that might matter more than all the others.This is for anyone with BPD who is tired of feeling like a problem to be solved and is ready to start building something worth living for.🌱 Have questions, stories, or something you’d like us to cover?
