The Plus One Podcast

Sara Thorpethorpes95.podbean.com
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.

I’m in love, I’m in love, and I don’t care who knows it!

Dating with borderline comes with a lot of ups and downs. My best advice is to enjoy it when it’s good and prepare for when it’s inevitably bad. For people with borderline personality disorder who struggle with chronic emptiness, you have to savor the moments that feel good. So don’t mind me while I twirl in this lovey-dovey space! If you know someone or love someone with borderline personality disorder, please share this podcast to strengthen our community.

Dating Is Hard

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!

The Epiphany Episode

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.

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 lov...
