DISCLAIMER: This podcast is not a substitute for professional mental health and/or medical help. Everything shared here is from my lived experience as someone previously diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depression, and Complex Trauma (CPTSD). This podcast may contain triggering themes related to childhood trauma and suicidal ideation.

In this episode, I open up about my recent mental health relapse into a deep depression. This is something I’ve consistently struggled with living with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and I hope that by sharing the struggles of coping with depression honestly I can help others who might be struggling.

I share a bit about what relapse feels like for me, how it impacts my daily life, and some of the small steps I am taking toward healing and recovery. If you are currently or have ever experienced a mental illness relapse, battled BPD, complex trauma and depression or just generally felt discouraged on your mental health journey, this episode is for you. World Suicide Prevention Day just ended but the struggle for many did not. If you found me I want you to know you are not alone.

Keywords: mental illness relapse, depression relapse, BPD and depression, living with borderline personality disorder, mental health recovery, coping with relapse, mental health podcast.
