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?
