Episode description
Content Warning: Discussions about Abuse
Micaela Kelly (she/her) is known for her BPD content under the handle @bpdrelatable, and that really says it all - Since 2021, she's cultivated a massive recovery focused community across TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook by creating insightful content about her experiences with BPD. Mic has a unique talent for articulating her experiences in a way that so many of us can relate to. Mic and I are good friends and we're delighted to be able to have you join us in this more laid-back, candid exchange about topics like trust issues, self-blame, and emotional over-control that is so typically seen in quiet BPD.
In this episode, Mic and I chat about:
- What does living with Quiet BPD look like for us?
- How has our experience with Quiet BPD changed over time?
- Why do people with Quiet BPD often have an issue with ghosting or abruptly ending long term friendships or relationships?
- Do people with Quiet BPD have emotional outbursts?
- How does Quiet BPD make us vulnerable to abusive behaviour from others?
- How does our experience with Quiet BPD affect our ability to trust others or form close relationships?
- What about our ability to trust ourselves and our own judgement?
- What are some of the triggers that can cause a "crash" or emotional breakdown for us?
- How do we recognize and manage self-destructive thoughts or behaviors?
- What are some things we’d like to see more awareness on regarding Quiet BPD?
- What are some common misconceptions or arguments made about Quiet BPD?
- Is quiet BPD high functioning? Is it a real thing? Is it worse or easier to live with than other presentations of BPD? Is it curable?
