Bold Beautiful Borderline

Impulsivity is possibly the most fun and most devastating symptom of borderline personality disorder.
Be it impulsive sex, substance use, speeding, shopping, binge eating, or basically anything that gives immediate gratification in maybe not the most healthy ways... we’ve probably been there and done that.
But impulsivity it’s not necessarily a symptom we’d want to live without either! Being impulsive also makes us more fun, passionate, exciting, and spontaneous.
It’s all about balance.

One of the key characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD) are rapidly shifting mood swings. These last minutes to hours, rather than days or weeks as seen in other mental illnesses. Sara and Laurie share stories of what these rapid mood swings have been like for them and the people around them. Just like how rapid our moods may spiral this episode goes in many different directions, almost comically so. We almost named this episode “Ramblings to Two Lunatics” because of how all over the place this conversation went.

Our mental healthcare needs to be personalized to us and our specific biology. Today, Sara and Dr. Evelyn Higgins talk about the work she's doing to make that happen. Wired For Addiction provides an individually tested biomarker 31-page report that hopes to negate the often ineffective and dangerous “try-it-out” phase of medications by isolating the individual’s specific genes and the associated interaction with the drugs and drug types listed in the report. In matters of health, life, and death, empirical evidence should not be the standard of care. These are their beliefs as a company. Sara and Evelyn talk what, why, and how on individual genetic mental healthcare.

Warning: This episode is hard as is very likely to be triggering to people who have experiences with disordered eating. Please listen with self love and take good care of yourself.

We have debated not publishing this episode many times as it is less about recovery and more about currently living with mental illness and actively struggling. It was the hardest episode we have ever recorded. That said, in some ways we hope that this episode offers a glimpse into the reality of really tough conversations, boundary setting, and the deep shame and struggles that can come from mental illnesses like eating disorders.

In this episode you will hear a lot of dysregulation, resistance, and resentment. Please know that Laurie and Sara are good - this is the reality of being in close friendships with BPD. We still love each other very much and have discussed how difficult this was for both of us at great lengths since recording.
