Can people with BPD recover? Do we ever heal?
The short answer: Yes. We can, and we do.
Quiet, Not Silent is a podcast dedicated to exploring recovery while living with Borderline Personality Disorder.
I'm Avery (they/them), and I live with quiet (discouraged) BPD. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2019 at 24 years old. After reading about Millon's subtypes, I was finally able to understand the way I had been coping with this mental health condition. The subtypes have been an effective describing tool for many people with BPD to better explain their own experiences and coping mechanisms. After all, no two people experience BPD the exact same way. We are not a monolith.
In solo episodes, I explore different topics related to quiet BPD (and BPD in general), like dissociation, internalized shame, chronic emptiness, etc. Guest episodes will include conversations with amazing people I've met along my path. We talk about our experiences with BPD and about topics related to our recovery: Self-love, coping skills, relationships, support systems, and different therapy modalities, to name a few.
Since 2021, I have been compelled to break the silence that stigma traps us in, and speak up on my experiences with this hidden subtype. So, here I am: quiet, not silent.
