Thank you for sharing your healing journey. I was diagnosed with BPD yesterday and I feel very determined to do all of these positive things so I can participate in life the way I want to. This talk was so helpful.

BPD is exhausting.

I’m tired

I am working to get on top of BPD. I don't want to live like this. I literally had to cut everyone out of my life.

when she said that she healed from her eating disorder I literally cried. are you kidding me?! I’m so excited to heal

Thank you for your honesty, Stephanie. You are an amazing young woman who just brought new hope into my heart. i am a mental health counselor learning about BPD, and your story is very enlightening and deeply helpful, on so many levels! I appreciate your practical ideas for recovery. You have a very motivational presence, and you are a beautiful soul!

Thank you, for sharing. I was recently diagnosed with bpd and everything’s been making sense why I’ve been this way my whole life. Thanks to people like you and your organization to help spread awareness like this!

You articulate this so well.. I was diagnosed over 12 yrs ago. It's been my life story. 🙌

How you doing now? My girlfriend have BPD. I want to know more and have you recovered?

[@trishawallingsford4146]

Thank you for giving me hope, I’m going back to the head doc!

Thank you for your courage in sharing your story- it really helps others. 🙏 You mentioned you had a kind and supportive family which is wonderful. I am curious as to whether you experienced any trauma in your childhood years? I know there is a connection between trauma and bpd but also that bpd can exist without trauma being present.

My psych also told me when I got a handle on my BPD my Ed would calm down. It definitely did

[@CloverLane98]

But intuitive eating was still an important part of recovery for me

Hello there. I am a professional in Brisbane (not a mental health professional, more an experiencer). Just wondering if their is a way of connecting with Stephanie. If anyone could advise I’d appreciate it or even an opportunity for me to pass my contact details on for confidential reasons. Cheers guys...
