Super Feeler: A BPD Podcast
BPD Symptoms: Suicide (part 1)
We're talking suicide - something that impacts almost everyone with borderline personality disorder in some way. A vast majority of us have experienced suicidal thoughts and as many as 10% of us will die by suicide at some point.
Naturally this episode gets deep and you should listen with care.
In part 1 (of 2) we talk language around suicide, stigma, shame, and start to get into our personal experiences with suicide.
Suicide is a real thing and it's important we talk about it openly. It may be hard, but it's the truth.
