Do you ever find yourself teetering on the edge, trying to juggle your emotions, relationships, and sense of self? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to navigate life with borderline personality disorder (BPD), a condition impacting countless individuals worldwide? If these questions resonate with you, consider tuning in to The Plus One podcast, where I candidly share my journey of coping with BPD since 2017. Through this podcast, I delve into topics ranging from relationships to sobriety to therapy, offering an unfiltered look into my experiences. At the same time, I am not a therapist or licensed professional; I’m a fellow human seeking connection with those facing similar hurdles. The Plus One podcast serves as a raw and authentic discussion on mental health, shedding light on the realities of living and loving with BPD. Join me as we explore the peaks and valleys of this intricate and often misconstrued disorder. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey—you are the plus one.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m living in a simulation. Is this even real? How can dating be so incredibly lackluster when so many people are in the same situation? I have to believe that the universe is sending me my perfect person and that the ones sent to me now are only reminders that I deserve better. Dating is hard!

Catching up after my favorite person moved away for a crunchy life in Oregon, I brought my good friend Kodi! We talk about our triggers and what helps us navigate borderline personality disorder. We have started going to the gym together, and let me tell you, it’s been great for my mental health! Physical health and mental health are closely related. To take care of one is to take care of the other. If you see me around town randomly crying, don’t mind me; I miss my favorite person.
Who knows what love is? Sometimes, it’s twin flames, And you finish each other sentences. Sometimes, you’re living in a dream world and loving someone without expectation of reciprocation. I’m just trying to love what I so freely give to others. Despite our trauma, love is what gives us hope.
Thank you for tuning in to The Plus One Podcast and sharing this podcast with anyone who might need to hear it!

As a person who struggles with BPD, it’s hard for me to stick to a topic. Unless of course, it is the topic of BPD. Thankfully everything that happens in my life is a direct result of that because my BPD is my plus one. I’ve gone so deep into my healing that I question the motives behind every decision I make, whether conscious or subconscious. Not every day is a good day, but I am proud to say that the bad days come few and far between. It’s a choice. I’ve always been a person searching for love. And then I realized….I am love. I have all the love I need. I am full. And none of those things require the presence of another human being. Self love is a journey and it’s hard and humbling as fuck. And it’s not over. This is just a real time ear hustle for you to feel a little less alone in this unpredictable place. And if you see something that makes you uncomfortable, speak up. Use your voice to speak and your back bone to stand on it. Complacency breeds corruption. And comply to the norm is something I’ll never do. Take care of your people. Follow everything the plus one does on all socials and me on everything. Shout out to our podcast daddy for putting up with us and all the crazy ways we try to change the world for the better. See you next Tuesday!

After 127 days of pure agony, my kids have returned home to me.
Remember that parenting with BPD requires ongoing effort and self-reflection. Don't hesitate to ask for help when needed, and remember that it's okay to make mistakes – being open to learning from them is essential. Your dedication to growth and well-being will positively influence your ability to be a nurturing and loving parent.
If you know anyone with BPD or if you have BPD, I hope this podcast brings you clarity and inclusion. You are not alone. Follow everything the plus one podcast does and shout out to Spokast!
